Description

To evaluate the significance of the event, we need to estimate the background distribution of the detection statistic.
The data analysis in LSC collaboration apply the time shift method for the data of two detectors to estimate the significance.
In this talk, we present about the new method to estimate the background distribution and the significance in the compact binary coalescence search.
