We analyze the deviations of transit times from a linear ephemeris for the
Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI) through Quarter six (Q6) of science data. We
conduct two statistical tests for all KOIs and a related statistical test for
all pairs of KOIs in multi-transiting systems. These tests identify several
systems which show potentially interesting transit timing variations (TTVs).
Strong TTV systems have been valuable for the confirmation of planets and their
mass measurements. Many of the systems identified in this study should prove
fruitful for detailed TTV studies.
