Agreed CDR and CD are different, but the same result (although with little detail on how extensive the test) was found for CD by Altman. BTW: The main point of the link I posted was to explain CIRC in readily understandable terms (because the concepts are clearly not understood here). I guess there is a high probability it is an undergraduate exercise, as it's from a US miltary site  (or was that what you were getting at) - but it does have a Prof.'s name at the top!

Since you clearly know more than you're posting..then POST IT! Also, simply quoting references to papers that are not generally available to people here is not tremendously helpful - any links or summaries would be most welcome.

Absolutely no disagreement here whatsoever.

Groan...

"distribution of the timing error and the time scale" = "jitter spectrum".

Surprised you've not made any reference to the differences between correlated and uncorrelated effects...or were you saving that for a later round?
