The Sys - Rem Detrending Algorithm : Implementation and Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sys-Rem (Tamuz, Mazeh & Zucker 2005) is a detrending algorithm designed to remove systematic effects in a large set of lightcurves obtained by a photometric survey. The algorithm works without any prior knowledge of the effects, as long as they appear in many stars of the sample. This paper presents the basic principles of Sys-Rem and discusses a parameterization used to determine the number of effects removed. We assess the performance of Sys-Rem on simulated transits injected into WHAT survey data. This test is proposed as a general scheme to assess the effectiveness of detrending algorithms. Application of Sys-Rem to the OGLE dataset demonstrates the power of the algorithm. We offer a coded implementation of Sys-Rem to the community.

متن کاملStage Life Testing with Missing Stage Information - an EM-Algorithm Approach
We consider a stage life testing model and assume that the information at which levels the failures occurred is not available. In order to find estimates for the lifetime distribution parameters, we propose an EM-algorithm approach which interprets the lack of knowledge about the stages as missing information. Furthermore, we illustrate the implementation difficulties caused by an increasing nu...
متن کاملComparison of detrending methods for optimal fMRI preprocessing.
Because of the inherently low signal to noise ratio (SNR) of fMRI data, removal of low frequency signal intensity drift is an important preprocessing step, particularly in those brain regions that weakly activate. Two known sources of drift are noise from the MR scanner and aliasing of physiological pulsations. However, the amount and direction of drift is difficult to predict, even between nei...
متن کاملWASP - 1 Photometric follow - up 3 3 DATA PROCESSING AND MODEL FITTING
We report on photometric follow-up of the recently discovered transiting planet WASP-1b. We observed two transits with the Wise Observatory 1m telescope, and used a variant of the EBOP code together with the Sys-Rem detrending approach to fit the light curve. Assuming a stellar mass of 1.15M⊙, we derived a planetary radius of Rp = 1.40 ± 0.06RJ and mass of Mp = 0.87± 0.07MJ . An uncertainty of ...
متن کاملDetrending moving average algorithm for multifractals.
The detrending moving average (DMA) algorithm is a widely used technique to quantify the long-term correlations of nonstationary time series and the long-range correlations of fractal surfaces, which contains a parameter θ determining the position of the detrending window. We develop multifractal detrending moving average (MFDMA) algorithms for the analysis of one-dimensional multifractal measu...
