Correction to: Solar Phys (2017) 292, 114 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11207-017-1169-1

We found an important error in the text of our article.

On page 6, the second sentence of Section 3.2

“We studied the variations in soft X-ray flare characteristics in more detail by averaging them within the running windows of ± one Carrington rotation with a step of two rotations.”

should instead read

“We studied the variations in soft X-ray flare characteristics in more detail by averaging them within the running windows of ± 2.5 Carrington rotations with a step of two rotations.”

We regret the inconvenience.
