There is a broad class of astrophysical sources that produce detectable,
transient, gravitational waves. Some searches for transient gravitational waves
are tailored to known features of these sources. Other searches make few
assumptions about the sources. Typically events are observable with multiple
search techniques. This work describes how to combine the results of searches
that are not independent, treating each search as a classifier for a given
event. This will be shown to improve the overall sensitivity to
gravitational-wave events while directly addressing the problem of consistent
interpretation of multiple trials.
