Setting upper limits<br />

• Although at this early stage no detection can be announced we<br />

can place upper limits for example on the inspiral event rate<br />

For example for S2 data:<br />

P ρ ρ ¿ = 1 − e −ε R T<br />

R 90 50 y −1 MWEG −1<br />

A rate > than above means there is more than 90% probability<br />

that one inspiral event will be observed with SNR > highest SNR<br />

observed in the data.<br />

Much better event rate from S3, S4, S5 data!<br />
