What it's used for here

ASAS-SN 2015-2017: fade of 6.3 +/- 1.4 mmag per year, more extreme than 99.4 per cent of 1,078 comparison stars; ASAS V 2006-2017 shows brightening 2006-07, dimming 2009-13 (15.8 +/- 1.5 mmag/yr) and brightening around 2014, so a straight line is a poor description. The modern-era reference for the fade's non-monotonic history.
