Hi! I have been quite surprised to see the abbreviation OADEV appear. I assume that this means Overlapped Allan Deviation, but this is confusing since the Allan Deviation estimates already is overlapping. However, I have seen that some use a non-overlapping estimator, but this type of estimator has an unwanted filtering effect and should not be used.
If a distinction between these ADEV estimators should be used, then the standard (overlapping) estimator should continue to be called ADEV and the non-overlapping (back-to-back) could be called NOADEV ór whatever... I have done a fair amount of digging around many sources around ADEV and friends so I think I got it right. Unless someone can give a meaningful explanation and I really expect a good article detailing the difference and benefits...
