Description
In Tingley (cite{tingley}), all available transit detection algorithms
were compared in a simple, rigorous test. However, the implementation of
the Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) approach of Kovács et al.
(cite{kovacs}) used in that paper was not ideal for those purposes.
This letter revisits the comparison, using a version of the BLS better
suited to the task at hand and made more efficient via the knowledge
gained from the previous work. Multiple variations of the BLS and the
matched filter are tested. Some of the modifications improve performance
to such an extent that the conclusions of the original paper must be
revised.
