Transit Least Squares (TLS) algorithm for detecting exoplanet transits in light curves. Use when searching for transiting exoplanets specifically, as TLS is more sensitive than Lomb-Scargle for transit-shaped signals. Based on the transitleastsquares Python package.

# Transit Least Squares (TLS)
Transit Least Squares is a specialized algorithm optimized for detecting exoplanet transits in light curves. It's more sensitive than Lomb-Scargle for transit-shaped signals because it fits actual transit models.
## Overview
TLS searches for periodic transit-like dips in brightness by fitting transit models at different periods, durations, and epochs. It's the preferred method for exoplanet transit detection.
## Installation
```bash
pip install transitleastsquares
```
