| noise_thresh | float | `1` | Upper threshold for noisiness of data surrounding potential spikes. See condition (3) |
| noise_window | [offset string](docs/ParameterDescriptions.md#offset-strings) | `"12h"` | Determines the range of the time window of the "surrounding" data of a potential spike. See condition (3) |
| noise_func | [string](#noise-detection-functions) | `"CoVar"` | Function to calculate noisiness of data, surrounding potential spikes |
| smooth_poly_deg | integer | `2` | Degree of the polynomial used for fitting with the Savitsky-Golay filter |
| smooth_window | [offset string](docs/ParameterDescriptions.md#offset-strings) | `None` | Size of the smoothing window of the Savitsky-Golay filter. The default value `None` results in a window of two times the sampling rate (i.e. three values) |
| smooth_poly_deg | integer | `2` | Degree of the polynomial used for fitting with the Savitsky-Golay filter |
The function flags spikes by evaluating the time series' derivatives
