ExtragalacticTransient.compute_all_sky_yield_ci(duration: Quantity) → tuple[float, float][source]#

Compute rate-only bounds on the expected all-sky intrinsic event count.

For a fixed observer-frame duration, transform the bounds on all_sky_rate as

\[[\mu_{\mathrm L},\mu_{\mathrm U}] = [T\mathcal R_{\mathrm L},T\mathcal R_{\mathrm U}].\]

Parameters:: duration (Quantity) – Nonnegative observer-frame sampling-window duration, convertible to time units. Use the same window as for compute_all_sky_yield().
Returns:: Lower and upper bounds on the expected intrinsic event count. The endpoints need not be integers and retain the confidence level assigned to the rate bounds.
Return type:: tuple of float

Notes

These bounds propagate only the uncertainty represented by RATE_CI. They include neither survey selection nor Poisson fluctuations in a realized count, and are not a prediction interval for a future catalog.

If RATE_CI is None, both endpoints equal the expected count. See Yield Statistics.
