Abstract

Statistical techniques used to analyse data from direct detection dark matter experiments are reviewed with an emphasis on general issues which could benefit from further study. In order to illustrate these issues three case studies are presented of detectors operating in different statistical regimes which require novel approaches to data analysis.
