... The standard science quicklook processing produces over a dozen sky maps at each downlink, and these maps are automatically searched for potential transient point sources. ... We have found that a heuristic modification of a formula derived by Li & Ma (1983) provides reasonably accurate estimates of p -values for point source detections even for very low p -value detections. ... Case 1u. The most straightforward approach uses the signal , where . ... To get a p -value, use . ...

... Posts tagged ?background? ... Probability density functions are another way of summarizing the consequences of assuming a Gaussian error distribution when the true distribution is Poisson. We can compute the posterior probability of the intensity of a source , when some number of counts are observed in a source region, and the background is estimated using counts observed in a different region. ... In both cases a background of 200 counts collected in an area 40x the source area is used. ...

... Let us assume to begin with that there is no source at a given location, only background. Let us calculate the probability that the observed counts at that location are due solely to background. ... The routines described in the present section are designed to take as arguments the probability cutoff (actually a cutoff in likelihood is used) and the background, or expectation value for the counts, and use them to calculate the minimum value of source counts which is detectable at those levels. ...

In the paper we used data from six pulsars from the PPTA project to obtain a limit. The remaining pulsars were rejected because their timing residuals were not white. ...
