Scientific paper

We address the common problem of calculating intervals in the presence of systematic uncertainties. We aim to investigate several approaches, but here describe just a Bayesian technique for setting upper limits. The particular example we study is that of inferring the rate of a Poisson process when there are uncertainties on the acceptance and the background. Limit calculating software associated with this work is available in the form of C functions.
