In order to establish the significance of the pulsed profiles found at these trial frequencies, pulsed profiles are evaluated with a chi-squared test, to establish how much they depart from a null hypothesis where the signal is consistent with a flat distribution of noisy measurements.

The most obvious effect is a distortion of the white noise level in the power density spectrum (PDS) that cannot be modeled easily with the standard techniques due to the variable nature of the dead time.
