From b89ad261fc6256a2cf62ec68f7210711a805d962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Blaufuss Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2023 11:53:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Make it clear that p-values reported (overall search or per-event ones) can be null. This happens when a search is not run for selection reasons, or an individual event is not significant in one search or the other. --- gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.example.json | 2 +- gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.schema.json | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.example.json b/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.example.json index f4f87761..d89ab8bb 100644 --- a/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.example.json +++ b/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.example.json @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ "systematic_included": false }, "event_pval_generic": 0.0191, - "event_pval_bayesian": 0.0549 + "event_pval_bayesian": null }, { "event_dt": 222.46, diff --git a/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.schema.json b/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.schema.json index b223ec66..c6482671 100644 --- a/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.schema.json +++ b/gcn/notices/icecube/LvkNuTrackSearch.schema.json @@ -23,11 +23,11 @@ "properties": { "pval_generic": { "description": "P-value from generic transient search; consistency with background expectations [0-1]", - "type": "number" + "type": ["number", "null"] }, "pval_bayesian": { "description": "P-value from LLAMA Bayesian search; consistency with background expectations [0-1]", - "type": "number" + "type": ["number", "null"] }, "n_events_coincident": { "description": "Number of IceCube events in spatial and temporal coincidence with the GW map", @@ -71,11 +71,11 @@ }, "event_pval_generic": { "description": "Per-event P-value from generic transient search; consistency with background expectations [0-1]", - "type": "number" + "type": ["number", "null"] }, "event_pval_bayesian": { "description": "Per-event P-value from LLAMA Bayesian search; consistency with background expectations [0-1]", - "type": "number" + "type": ["number", "null"] } } }
