Data and code for "Red noise and evolving signals: a complete frequentist approach to supermassive black hole binary searches with pulsar timing arrays"

The accompanying programs provide the workflow for synthetic PTA generation, evolving continuous-gravitational-wave signal injection, the timing-model-projected likelihood, joint signal-and-noise optimization using particle swarm optimization, signal-to-noise ratio calculations, the \\(\\mathcal{T}\\) and \\(\\mathcal{F}_p\\) statistics, and ROC-curve analysis. The synthetic arrays were generated with a locally modified version of the third-party FakePTA package. FakePTA source code is not included in this archive; generating new synthetic PTA realizations requires a compatible external FakePTA installation. The supplied compatibility loader allows the archived pulsar data to be read without FakePTA. Instructions and simulation settings are included in the archive.License information: The data, derived data products, figures, and documentation are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Abstract

The accompanying programs provide the workflow for synthetic PTA generation, evolving continuous-gravitational-wave signal injection, the timing-model-projected likelihood, joint signal-and-noise optimization using particle swarm optimization, signal-to-noise ratio calculations, the \(\mathcal{T}\) and \(\mathcal{F}_p\) statistics, and ROC-curve analysis. The synthetic arrays were generated with a locally modified version of the third-party FakePTA package. FakePTA source code is not included in this archive; generating new synthetic PTA realizations requires a compatible external FakePTA installation. The supplied compatibility loader allows the archived pulsar data to be read without FakePTA. Instructions and simulation settings are included in the archive.License information: The data, derived data products, figures, and documentation are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
