Abstract

Description

A technique for background prediction using data, but maintaining a closed signal box is described. The result is extended to two background sources. Conditions on the applicability under correlated cuts are described. This technique is applied to both a toy model and an analysis of data from a rare neutral kaon decay experiment.
