Better scoring and Confidence levels

pain in ASS bro


so i started from a normal scoring system which worked fine for finding periods but it wasnt good for confidence factors cuz it scales with dataset, so a bigger data set despite having no period will still have better score than a smaller data set with a period, so i need a better scoring system

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

this idea came while i was soldering a jammer i am working on lol
so i measured the ratio and replaced the basic system with depth / (noise / sqrt(n_in)) it is not the perfect SNR system but it works nice enough.
_
so i tested it against KIC 8462852 which does not have any exoplanet, and the signal was still wrong cuz this star (Tabby’s star) is a bit weird and it has large periodic dimming events and it was long enough on a single candence on various points to score high enough on SNR and look like a strong signal, so that made it clear that SNR isnt alone enough

Coverage-Ratio check

THIS finally passed every test, it clusters in transit points between time gaps so a bigger time gap will make a new occurence, and it counts those occurances, the tabby’s star had only 2 so i made the limit 5, the “transit” must occur more than 5 times to be qualified for SNR check, which worked good and finally i got WEAK signal on that star check.
