False alarm probability

Description

Computes the statistical significance of peaks (range 0-1) in the standardized perodogram. Typically not called by the user.

Usage

pbaluev(Z,fmax,tm)

Arguments

Z

the height of a periodogram peak

fmax

the highest frequency inspected

tm

a vector with measurement timepoints

Details

Based on results in extreme value theory, improved analytic estimations of false alarm probabilities are given.

Value

Returns the significance of the largest peak in the periodogram.

Note

Code based on astropy.timeseries
