Upper limits based on "loudest" events
Abstract
This paper has been withdrawn due to a crucial error in combining the two probability sectors represented in equations 13 and 14. Corrected, one can recover, in the limit of no background, the results of Allen et al. The general result that an analysis allowing for a background permits a substantial improvement of the limit still holds, though the presentation in the gr-qc/9907070 is flawed.
