这篇文章为一封信提供了补充信息，该信报告了围绕瞬变(GW)信号GW150914进行的16天符合的高级LIGO观测得出的(BBH)聚结率。在那项工作中，我们报告了各种比率估计，其90%的可信区间落在2-600的范围内。GPC(-3)。YR(-1)。在这里，我们详细介绍我们的方法和计算，包括关于我们的搜索管道的信息、用于分析的似然函数的推导、对合并BBH预期的天体物理搜索触发分布的描述、关于我们的计算方法的详细说明、对影响的描述和我们对校准不确定度的模型，以及估计我们的探测器灵敏度的分析方法，该方法是根据我们的测量进行校准的。
This article provides supplemental information for a Letter reporting the rate of (BBH) coalescences inferred from 16 days of coincident Advanced LIGO observations surrounding the transient (GW) signal GW150914. In that work we reported various rate estimates whose 90% confidence intervals fell in the range 2-600. Gpc(-3). yr(-1). Here we give details on our method and computations, including information about our search pipelines, a derivation of our likelihood function for the analysis, a description of the astrophysical search trigger distribution expected from merging BBHs, details on our computational methods, a description of the effects and our model for calibration uncertainty, and an analytic method for estimating our detector sensitivity, which is calibrated to our measurements.
