Multiifo coincident rate estimation

Multiifo coincident rate estimation

This page details the testing done to the coinc_rate.multiifo_noise_coinc_rate function to chec that noise rates are being calculated correctly

3-detector coincidence calculation of trigger rates vs true (background) rates

Note that there is some 'blocking' (grouping of templates with similar duration) in order to obtain better statistics for the triple coincident events

3-detector coincidence overestimate of trigger rates

This 'overestimate' is the predicted rate divided by the true rate, there may be a small bias due to the true rate being an integer

2-detector coincidence calculation of trigger rates vs true (background) rates
