    "abstract": "Asymmetric statistical errors arise for experimental results obtained by\nMaximum Likelihood estimation, in cases where the number of results is finite\nand the log likelihood function is not a symmetric parabola. This note\ndiscusses how separate asymmetric errors on a single result should be combined,\nand how several results with asymmetric errors should be combined to give an\noverall measurement. In the process it considers several methods for\nparametrising curves that are approximately parabolic.",
