Example X-ray light curves and their classification with CuDiDi. Left column: total counts binned at 1 ks for visual clarity and normalised in time for three representative sources per row. Transient sources are shown in the top row, and non-transient sources in the bottom row. Middle column: corresponding CDFs, obtained from the light curves with 1 s bins, normalised to unity. The shaded grey area indicates the lower half (0–0.5) of the cumulative fraction. Right column: CuDiDi diagram showing μlower vs. μupper, where μlower and μupper denote the mean values of the lower and upper halves of the cumulative distributions, respectively. Transient sources are marked as squares, and non-transient sources are shown as circles. The shaded green band indicates the transient region, defined as +0.2 above the diagonal μupper = μlower + 0.5. Sources in this region are classified as transients, while those below fall into the non-transient category. The colours and line styles in all panels indicate observation ID: solid green line = 7048, dashed blue line = 16174, dotted orange line = 20120. This demonstrates how CuDiDi captures the distinct variability patterns of transient and non-transient sources.
