New tool with GUI for fitting O-C diagrams
Abstract
There are many different methods for fitting and analysing O-C diagrams. We present a new fitting tool for an analysis of O-C diagrams. Our package use Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Unlike many others fitting routines, our method does not need any initial values of fitted parameters. Fitting using presented software is quite simple thanks to a very intuitive graphic user interface. Currently, nine most common models of periodic O-C changes are included in this software.
