GERBLS documentation

Important

This documentation is currently undergoing improvements. Some package features be poorly documented, which will be improved in the near future.

GERBLS (Greatly Expedited Robust Box Least Squares) is a lightweight fast-folding implementation of the BLS (Box Least Squares) algorithm. It is designed to facilitate transiting planet searches in photometric data via an easy setup and fast runtimes.

GERBLS can outperform popular brute-force BLS implementations such as astropy.timeseries.BoxLeastSquares by over 10-20x in runtime speed.
