[time-nuts] Thermal effects on cables --> ADEV

[Bob Camp]

Hi

There’s an interesting comment buried down in that paper about limiting ADEV to 
< 300 samples per point. Their objective is apparently to better highlight “systematic 
errors”. I certainly agree that big datasets will swamp this sort of thing. I’m not quite
sure that I’d recommend ADEV to find these things in the first place. My guess is that
it’s the only spec they have to call the device good or bad in this case …They don’t seem
to have Hadamard in their list of variances. If I was going after systematics with a deviation,
that’s the one I’d use. Of course I probably would not use a something-dev in the first place.
