What's the periodic of the folding results?

[desword]

Thanks for your code. I have one question that how to determine which periodicity belongs to my signal? For example, now I have test and get the folding sum distribution with periodic range from 0 to N. Then, how to determine which periodic is correct? According to the biggest folding sum peak that the periodic has?

For example, I have obtained three folding sum distribution with periodic (3, 4, 5), and distributions are [0:2, 1:5, 2: 10, 3:2 ], [0:2, 1:5, 2:8, 3:2, 4:2], [0:2, 1:5, 2:2, 3:2, 4:2, 5:4 ]. The tuple (x, y), where x means the phase and y means the sum. And the example maybe not practical, but I want to know is which periodic should I choose? Is it the periodic 3 because its corresponding distribution has the biggest folding sum 2:10 ?
Thanks!

Hey there, thanks for mailing. I'm afraid I'm not sure of exactly what you're asking. Do you think you could send me some examples of the input/output your getting from ffancy, as well as the commands you are using to run it? That might help to make things clearer. Cheers, - Andrew

Sorry for the late response.
Actually, I haven't run this code successfully due to the compiling error. And I have tried to implement myself version of FFA using matlab.

I am asking how to determine the periodic according to the FFA results.

In my implementation, I first want to fold all the possible periodic, and then find the periodic with the highest folding sum. However, I find it is wrong. because any results that is the order of the correct periodic would be treated as the correct periodic. And the periodic would be one if I pick the periodic with the largest folding sum.

For example, the correct periodic is 120, however, when I fold the signal with periodic one, I will have the highest folding sum.

here is my matlab code. thanks

Thanks again for writing. This means of communication is alright, but if you wish to email me more directly, my address is indeed acameron@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de. That address should work just fine. As for the FFA, I describe several methods of evaluating the results of the FFA in the paper I published ( http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017MNRAS.468.1994C). But to explain it again briefly: Say you have a dataset that is N samples long, and there is a signal with period P samples hidden in that dataset. Running a *single* execution of the FFA will search from a period of P samples to P + 1 samples, and will output N/P folded signal profiles which have incremental periods between P and P+1. Note that the FFA works only when N/P = 2^x, so in order to search over any value of P, you have to modify your value of N slightly. Now, the FFA only produces the folded profiles - it does not tell you which of those profiles contains the best signal. That is where you need something like a "Profile Evaluation Algorithm" which analyses these folded profiles and comes up with a number which can be treated like a S/N value for each profile. In my paper, I analyse two different techniques, labeled Algorithm 1 & 2. I hope that helps. Have a read of the paper if you haven't already, and let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, - Andrew PS. What sort of compile error are you getting? Perhaps I can help.

Answering this on my phone, but at a guess: all the missing functions appear to be from math.h, which should be part of your GCC but apparently isn't. I'd double check that first. Cheers,
