In High Energy Physics one often counts events that could come from signal or background processes, where the total number seen is a few or less. One must decide if and when to claim evidence for observation of the signal, and non-observation should be translated into constraints on model parameters. Some of the methods commonly used in Particle Physics are presented and their limitations are discussed.
