False-Alarm Probabilities in Period Searches: Can Extreme-Value Distributions be of Use?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2012
Abstract
Results of simulating false-alarm probabilities in irregularly sampled time series are presented. Relations to well-known expressions and earlier-used criteria are shown and tested for applicability. The use of an extreme-values distribution in this context is investigated.
