[time-nuts] Re: Timestamping counter techniques : phase computation question

[Erik Kaashoek]

In the nist documents a separation is made between a measurement device
that provides single observations spaced in time and the statistical
processing that uses these observations over a long time period. My focus
is the on methods to come to the best possible single observation as input
to the statistical process, possibly extended with some confidence
information. So a kind of decimation that is done using many underlying
observations (the captured counters) almost equally spaced in time.
