Abstract

Transiting candidate validation is essentially a Bayesian model comparison problem: different models, all explaining the observations comparably well, compete for the support of the available data. The basic characteristics of the planet validation problem are discussed and the different approaches taken to tackle its difficulties are reviewed.
