Abstract
Theoretical variance #1 (Theo1) has been developed at NIST to improve the estimation of long-term frequency stability. Its square-root (Theo1-dev) has two significant improvements over the Allan deviation XX called ¿Adev" in estimlating long-term frequency stability in that (1) it can evaluate frequency stability at averaging times 50 % longe'r than those of Adev and (2) it can estimate frequency stability with greater confidence than any other estimator. We discuss a method for determining the exact confidence intervals of Theo1, particularly useful for small sample sizes, using analytic techniques. The confidence intervals of Theo1 are narrower and less skewed ( more symmetric) than confidence intervals based on chi-square.Proceedings Title
