Corrected Kepler DR25 point fits give AUC 0.517 for true b ≥ 0.8 in selected recoveries at expected MES 6–20
We test how well supplied fitted impact parameters identify high-impact transits in public Kepler DR25 pixel injections. The sample has 25,546 recovered circular injections with corrected supplemental fits. Stars have temperature 4000–7000 K and log surface gravity above 4. Expected multiple event statistic (MES) is 6–20. Period is below 350 days. Duration is 1.5 to below 15 hours. The source transit count is at least four. Injected planet-to-star radius ratio is at most 0.1. High impact means true b ≥ 0.8. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for fitted b is 0.5172. Its 95% interval is 0.5047–0.5291 from 2000 draws of whole source sky groups. The interval is below the specified practical bound of 0.60. Thresholds tested on five held-out sky-group folds remove 7.47% of high-impact cases while removing 4.96% of low-impact cases. Excess removal is 2.50 percentage points, with interval 1.34–3.66. That interval holds trained thresholds fixed. A separate fitted b < 0.9 cut rejects 1424 of 24598 true passes and retains 846 of 948 true failures. We extend prior fixed-cut tests with full threshold curves, AUC values by expected MES, and held-out decisions. The result describes the selected synthetic recoveries and supplied point fits. It gives no real-planet error probability and does not test catalog posterior fits. The package preserves both source responses, raw hashes, code, row decisions, figures, independent audits, and offline repeat instructions.
