Illustration of the empirical coverage distribution compared with the Poisson distribution. The empirical distribution is drawn with a dashed line and the Poisson distribution is drawn with a solid line. The total variation distance is the shaded area between the two distributions divided by two. ECHO finds the Poisson distribution minimizing the total variation distance to the empirical distribution to find the optimal set of parameters ω* and ε*.
