可靠性校正是稳健开普勒发生率的关键

Reliability Correction is Key for Robust Kepler Occurrence Rates

Steve Bryson, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Michelle Kunimoto, Susan E. Mullally

摘要:

开普勒DR25候选行星目录是使用基于各种测试的候选行星自动识别方法制作的。这些测试被调整以在目录完整性和可靠性之间获得合理但任意的平衡。我们通过改变这些测试产生具有不同的完整性和可靠性平衡的新目录,并研究这些替代目录对发生率的影响。我们发现,如果没有校正的可靠性,不同的目录统计不一致的发生率,而如果我们纠正的完整性和可靠性,我们得到统计一致的发生率。这强烈表明,完整性和可靠性校正对于准确计算发生率至关重要。此外,我们发现,这一结果是相同的,无论是使用贝叶斯泊松似然MCMC或近似贝叶斯计算方法。我们还研究了使用Robovetter处置分数削减作为可靠性校正的替代方案,并发现,虽然分数削减确实增加了目录的可靠性,但它不如进行全面的可靠性校正准确。我们得到相同的结果时,执行可靠性校正与不削减分数。因此,删除低分数行星会删除数据,而不会提供任何优势,并且应该尽可能避免。我们公开了我们的替代目录,并建议将其用作发生率方法的测试,要求方法应为所有这些目录提供统计上一致的发生率。

英文摘要:

The Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog was produced using an automated method of planet candidate identification based on various tests. These tests were tuned to obtain a reasonable but arbitrary balance between catalog completeness and reliability. We produce new catalogs with differing balances of completeness and reliability by varying these tests, and study the impact of these alternative catalogs on occurrence rates. We find that if there is no correction for reliability, different catalogs give statistically inconsistent occurrence rates, while if we correct for both completeness and reliability, we get statistically consistent occurrence rates. This is a strong indication that correction for completeness and reliability is critical for the accurate computation of occurrence rates. Additionally, we find that this result is the same whether using Bayesian Poisson likelihood MCMC or Approximate Bayesian Computation methods. We also examine the use of a Robovetter disposition score cut as an alternative to reliability correction, and find that while a score cut does increase the reliability of the catalog, it is not as accurate as performing a full reliability correction. We get the same result when performing a reliability correction with and without a score cut. Therefore removing low-score planets removes data without providing any advantage, and should be avoided when possible. We make our alternative catalogs publicly available, and propose that these should be used as a test of occurrence rate methods, with the requirement that a method should provide statistically consistent occurrence rates for all these catalogs.
