The Monopole, Astrophysics, and Cosmic Ray Observatory (MACRO) is a large underground detector located at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory near Assergi, Italy. This detector is sensitive to the passage of muons originating from high energy particle interactions in the atmosphere and outside the earth. This sensitivity allows for the observance of rare, upward-going muons coming from neutrino interactions in the rock beneath the detector. This analysis is an effort to understand the unexpected upward-going muon distribution observed by MACRO. An essential part of this effort involves identifying the assumptions included in the calculation of meaningful quantities and the interpretation of the results. Evidence that this unusual upward-muon distribution is inconsistent with the absence of neutrino oscillations is presented.
