Optimizing nonlinear projective noise reduction for the detection of planets in mean-motion resonances in transit light curves

In the search for extrasolar planets in mean-motion resonance using the transit method, the delay in time-delay phase space reconstruction may be chosen to either lower noise at maximum depth or, to lower noise where one looks for planets in resonance, as the transits begin and end. The trade-offs in the selection of the delay will be discussed for the case of a simulated light curve.
