    "abstract": "A suggestion is made for improving the Feldman Cousins method of estimating\nsignal counts in the presence of background. The method concentrates on finding\nessential information about the signal and ignoring extraneous information\nabout background. An appropriate method is found which uses the condition that\nthe number of background events obtained does not exceed the total number of\nevents obtained. Several alternative approaches are explored.",
