On the Low False Positive Probabilities of Kepler Planet Candidates — mentioned by danking00

Can you cite a source for your 50% false positive rate? I found a source[1] that argues for a ten percent false positive rate. What do you mean to "confirm" that the stars have planets? I could imagine, directly imaging them is confirmation, but, as I understand it, that's nearly impossible for the average exoplanet we've found. What types of data are Kepler and COROT lacking which you desire for confirmation? [1] http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.5630
