Plots of spectrogram slope (alpha) versus central frequency (f0) from least-squares fit to the time series, for all events.

Slope of spectrogram alpha versus central frequency f0, large scale (all events on the plot). The numbers in the upper-right-hand corner of each plot are: total number of events, number of events on the plot, (and, for the 1-D plots) mean and standard deviation for the distribution. Note the hexagonal patterns of clusters of events, with a large-scale hexagon nearly filling the plot, and a medium-scale pattern in the center of the plot.
f0 vs alpha, medium scale. The medium-scale hexagon now fills the plot, with the small- scale hexagon in the center.
f0 vs alpha, small scale. The smallest of the three hexagons now fills the plot.
f0 vs alpha, blowup of central region. The 973 events remaining on this plot constitute the sample of correctly fit "B" calls.
