[time-nuts] Clock stability and its measures

You might, depending upon the audience, point out the advantages of
heterodyne in the comparison of two RF signals.  This, as you know, relieves
the burden of precision on the measurement equipment by the heterodyne
ratio.

Subject: [time-nuts] Clock stability and its measures

Hi,

I have been tasked to give a talk on clock stability and its measures next
thursday. Most of the stuff is pretty clear (and the rest can be easily
looked up in Rubiolas book, various app notes and papers).
But I would like to make sure I did not forget anything important.
The types of stability measures we have are:

* deviations
	* Allan deviation
	* modified Allan deviation
	* time deviation
	* Hadamard deviation

* noise spectrum
	* single sided power spectral density

* jitter
	* cycle-to-cycle jitter
	* period jitter
	* time interval error


Are there any other measures? Or anything important I should make sure to
mention?

Also, if someone has a presentation where I could steal some stuff from, I
would appreciate that as well.
