On the bias in measurement of the asymmetry of Poisson flows

The asymmetry between rates of two event flows is considered. The presence of a bias between the observed asymmetry and the true asymmetry is shown. Monte Carlo experiments confirm the presence of the bias. An approximate formula for the true asymmetry estimation is proposed, which takes into accoun...

Zusammenfassung:The asymmetry between rates of two event flows is considered. The presence of a bias between the observed asymmetry and the true asymmetry is shown. Monte Carlo experiments confirm the presence of the bias. An approximate formula for the true asymmetry estimation is proposed, which takes into account this bias.
