Practical methods for treating serial correlations in experimental observations
T.J. WittBureau International des Poids et Mesures (Retired), 92310 Sèvres, France
Abstract
Serial correlations can have a significant effect on the statistical characterization of measured quantity values. Several methods for revealing the presence and the nature of correlations are presented in this paper; they include the Allan variance, spectral analysis and autocorrelation functions. A summary description of wavelet methods is also included. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the methods are considered. Emphasis is put on practical applications. An attempt is made to give an intuitive interpretation to each method.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
