def pnsig(self, n=None):
"""
The probability that n events are from the signal source.
:Parameters:
n : int
A number of events <= on_cts
:Returns:
p : float OR float array
If n is provided, the probability that n of the on_cts are from
the signal source is returned; with no arguments, an array of
length (on_cts+1) is returned so that p[n] is the probability
that n counts are from the signal source.

def sigmp(self, s):
"""
Marginal posterior density for scalar or vector signal rate(s).
The calculation is exact (to machine precision), and requires a sum
with a number of terms equal to the number of on-source counts. In
many cases with a large number of counts, many of the terms will be
negligible. The marginal likelihood method, sigml, can neglect small
terms and may be preferable to sigmp in these cases; its results
will have to be explicitly normalized to produce a posterior pdf.
:Parameters:
s : float OR float array
Signal rate(s) (counts per unit interval)
:Returns:
siglmp : float OR float array
Natural logarithm of the marginal posterior for the signal rate(s)
