Results of the First IPTA Closed Mock Data Challenge

Abstract

The 2012 International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) Mock Data Challenge (MDC) is designed to test current Gravitational Wave (GW) detection algorithms. Here we will briefly outline two detection algorithms for a stochastic background of gravitational waves, namely, a first-order likelihood method and an optimal statistic method and present our results from the closed MDC data sets.

This paper has been replaced due to a mixup of data sets. This updated version shows our results on the correct closed data sets
