The Mopex software is used at the Spitzer Science Center (SSC) to produce co-added and mosaicked images from sets of individually processed Spitzer images. Until now, quantitative studies of the performance of Mopex's outlier-detection methods had never been performed. This particular study focuses only on Mopex's multiframe outlier-detection algorithm, and future studies are still needed to characterize its so-called box and dual methods. The performance of the multiframe method varies with two adjustable parameters, and . For a given value, we computed the completeness () and reliability () of the outlier detection for 101 discrete values of uniformly distributed in the full range of possible settings for this parameter, which lie continuously between 0 and 1, inclusive. We characterized the and performance as a function of in this manner for values of 2, 2.5, 3, 5, and 10 for image data in all four IRAC channels (infrared passbands). Not surprisingly, the performance for IRAC channel 3 is relatively poor because the image data for this channel are markedly noisier. The best performance was obtained for a value of 3, and this applies to all four channels. Generally, setting low will maximize completeness at the expense of reliability, and vice versa for setting high. For example, for IRAC channel 1 and , setting gives and , and setting gives and .
