When running the BOINC SETI at Home program, I have a little problem
interpreting the numbers given / listed.

Thank you very much. It was helpful and I came across some old pages from 
the SETI@Home 3.08 era that I thought had been discarded.
Those old pages have so much useful material in it and are almost classics.

But now then, the current running job (not finished onces, important to say) 
reads the following for the best Gaussian detected :
Power: 1.922769, Fit: 1.326398, Score: -0.15188 (Yes ! A negative number for 
the Score result).

Compare this with my earlier example which was as follows:
Power: 2.306740, Fit 1.337945, Score 2.414156 .

Having a closer look at it, the only thing that puzzles me is the number for 
the Score in the Gaussians (both positive and negative numbers).

Why so ?

Please explain !

Thank you and happy crunching !
