Top: Plots of two simulated pulse profiles with ﹩M=64﹩, ﹩\mu =0﹩, and ﹩\sigma =10﹩. For profile 1, ﹩w=32﹩ and ﹩F=30﹩, and for profile 2, ﹩w=6﹩ and ﹩F=5.625﹩. Bottom: Applying the Bayesian pulse detection scheme to these profiles results in the pdfs shown in the two bottom plots. Note that these pdfs reach maximum at F, with scatter determined by the Gaussian noise in the original profiles.
