Fifty years of pulsar candidate selection: from simple filters to a new principled real-time classification approach

Fifty years of pulsar candidate selection: from simple filters to a new principled real-time classification approach

Improving survey specifications are causing an exponential rise in pulsar candidate numbers and data volumes. We study the candidate filters used to mitigate these problems during the past fifty years. We find that some existing methods such as applying constraints on the total number of candidates collected per observation, may …
