property ExtragalacticTransient.integrated_rate_ci: tuple[Quantity, Quantity]

Rate-only bounds on integrated_rate.

Assume the volumetric rate has a fixed redshift dependence, \(R(z;A)=A f(z)\), with uncertainty only in its normalization. For a fiducial normalization \(R_0\), RATE_CI contains the dimensionless endpoint multipliers

\[b_{\mathrm L} = \frac{R_{\mathrm L}}{R_0}, \qquad b_{\mathrm U} = \frac{R_{\mathrm U}}{R_0}.\]

The returned lower and upper bounds are

\[[\mathcal R_{\Omega,\mathrm L},\mathcal R_{\Omega,\mathrm U}] = [b_{\mathrm L}\mathcal R_\Omega, b_{\mathrm U}\mathcal R_\Omega].\]

The multipliers specify absolute endpoints relative to the fiducial rate, not fractional error magnitudes. The bounds retain the confidence level assigned to RATE_CI.

If RATE_CI is None, both bounds equal integrated_rate. This convention indicates that rate uncertainty is not represented; it does not establish that the physical rate is known exactly.
