The Crossing Statistic: Dealing with Unknown Errors in the Dispersion of Type Ia Supernovae
We propose a new statistic that has been designed to be used in situations where the intrinsic dispersion of a data set is not well known: The Crossing Statistic. This statistic is in general less sensitive than `chi^2' to the intrinsic dispersion of the data, and hence allows us to make progre...
