Confidence limits for Neyman type A-distributed events
The Neyman type A distribution, a generalized, "contagious", Poisson distribution finds application in a number of disciplines such as biology, physics and economy. In radiation biology it best describes the distribution of chromosomal aberrations in cells that were exposed to neutrons, alpha radiation or heavy ions. Intriguingly, no method has been developed for the calculation of confidence limits of Neyman type A-distributed events. Here we present an algorithm for calculating the 95% confidence limits of Neyman type A-distributed events. Although it has been developed in response to the requirements of radiation biology, it can find application in other fields of research. The algorithm has been implemented in a PC-based computer program that can be downloaded, free of charge, from http://www.pu.kielce.pl/ibiol/neta.
