Objections to the Unified Approach to the Computation of Classical Confidence Limits

Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Conventional classical confidence intervals in specific cases are unphysical. A solution to this problem has recently been published by Feldman and Cousins. We show that there are cases where the new approach is not applicable and that it does not remove the basic deficiencies of classical confidence limits.
