自从[1]发表以来，我们在根据未检测到引力波推断的双黑洞（BBH）聚结率上限的计算中发现了两个错误。这些误差在 90% 置信率限度内造成了符号相反、大小不同的系统偏差；当错误被纠正时，得到的限制比[1]中引用的限制小3到5倍。在这里，我们对误差进行简要描述，并报告它们对上限结果的影响。
Since the publication of [1] we have discovered two errors in the calculation of upper limits on binary black hole (BBH) coalescence rates inferred from the nondetection of gravitational waves. The errors caused systematic biases of opposite signs and different sizes in the 90% confidence rate limits; when errors are corrected, the resulting limits are a factor 3 to 5 smaller than those quoted in [1]. Here we give a brief description of the errors and report their impacts on the upper limit results.
