Changes (by nickm):

 * status:  needs_review => needs_revision


Comment:

 The comment on `get_max_safe_noise` seems to be unfinished;
 `get_min_safe_noise` needs documentation.

 Otherwise, looks okay to me, but you know the math here better than I do.
 Is there a math reviewer you'd recommend for the math changes, or shall we
 just merge it in once those comments are ready?
