Table 2.

Comparison of margin of error computed using the two different methods, sine-fitting (using Matlab’s Curve Fitting Toolbox) and BPENS, for the 100 simulated noisy oscillatory time series. The margin of error equals half the width of the 95% CI. The percent of samples in which the estimated period value was within the 95% CI is given in parentheses.

Length of
time series		 Sine-fitting BPENS
4 cycles 17 min (71%) 48 min (100%)
8 cycles 7.1 min (99%) 13 min (100%)
16 cycles 3.2 min (98%) 3.5 min (100%)
32 cycles 1.3 min (99%) 1.0 min (100%)
