Computation of Tau-Overlap Allan Variance

1	avar_to_cpp(x)

`x`	A `vector` with dimensions N x 1.

Given N equally spaced samples with averaging time tau = n*tau_0, where n is an integer such that 1<= n <= N/2. Therefore, n is able to be selected from {n|n< floor(log2(N))} Then, a sampling of m = ≤ft\lfloor {\frac{{N - 1}}{n}} \right\rfloor - 1 samples exist. The tau-overlap estimator is given by:

where {{\bar y}_t}≤ft( τ \right) = \frac{1}{τ }∑\limits_{i = 0}^{τ - 1} {{{\bar y}_{t - i}}} .

av A matrix that contains:

Col 1The size of the cluster
Col 2The Allan variance
Col 3The error associated with the variance estimation.
