Fig. 2: Posterior distributions for the coupling strength γ in the deterministic and stochastic treatments, Eqs. (5) and (6), respectively.

From: Stochastic fluctuations of bosonic dark matter

Fig. 2

Due to the fat-tailed shape of the stochastic posterior one can clearly see the 95% limit is larger with \({\gamma }_{95 \% }^{{{{{{{{\rm{stoch}}}}}}}}}/{\gamma }_{95 \% }^{\det }\approx 3.0\). The assumed value of the data is at the 95% detection threshold \({A}^{{{{{{\mathrm{dt}}}}}}}=\sqrt{-{{{{{{\mathrm{ln}}}}}}}\,(1-0.95)}\) (see text).
