Welcome to the documentation for the democratic detrender!

The documentation is currently under construction, with the API to be updated and tutorials added soon.

Stellar time-series photometry is a combination of periodic, quasi-periodic, and non-periodic variations caused by both physical and instrumental factors. There is thus no “perfect” model for this nuisance signal. To mitigate model dependency, democratic detrender that performs stellar detrending using a novel ensemble-based “voting” approach via a community-of-models. This detrending package has been extensively tested on thousands of TESS and Kepler light curves. For more information, please see the paper describing the methodology.
