Flatten

Remove trends from a light curve by flattening.

Overview

This plugin allows for flattening the light curve by removing trends. By default, the resulting flattened light curve is “unnormalized” by multiplying the flattened light curve by the median of the trend, but this can be disabled through the plugin settings.
