Poisson-FOCuS: An efficient online method for detecting count bursts with application to gamma ray burst detection

This is the repository for the JASA paper submission Ward et. al, 2022. The repository is structured as follows:

algorithms: Python implementations of the FOCuS algorithm for both Poisson (as described in the paper) and Gaussian cases. Note that the "fast" versions of the algorithms rely on work from a later paper (Ward et al, 2023) and go beyond the scope of the journal submission. They are included here to hopefully be of use to practitioners.

plots: Image files used within the paper. The plots/README.md file renders these in order produced in the paper and gives brief descriptions of each plot and where it was created.

plot-creation: Reproducibility workflows for plots in the plots folder.

data: data files used in the reproducibility workflows
