Scientist Tuning Guide

Use profiles first, then tune specific knobs.

Profiles

  • safe: conservative detection.

  • sensitive: stronger event/outlier sensitivity.

  • expert: wide-open advanced behavior.

Run-time profile stacking:

pleb run --config configs/runs/pipeline/pleb.pipeline.toml --profile sensitive

High-impact PQC knobs

  • pqc_merge_tol_seconds

  • pqc_step_delta_chi2_thresh

  • pqc_dm_step_delta_chi2_thresh

  • pqc_gaussian_bump_delta_chi2_thresh

  • pqc_glitch_delta_chi2_thresh

  • pqc_glitch_noise_k

Use per-backend overrides via:

  • pqc_backend_profiles_path
