Abstract: We present an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars by searching the full four - year Kepler data set for transiting planets using our own
planet detection pipeline and conducting transit injection and recovery simulations to empirically measure the search completeness of our pipeline.

Abstract: With each new version of the Kepler
pipeline and resulting
planet candidate catalogue, an updated measurement of the underlying
planet population can only be recovered with an corresponding measurement of the Kepler
pipeline detection efficiency.
As before, we make available the entire table of injected
planet parameters and whether they were recovered by the
pipeline, enabling readers to derive the
pipeline detection sensitivity in the
planet and / or stellar parameter space of their choice.
