Then the question becomes: What would be a good fitting function for
the typical application of an OCXO that is regularly measured with
not too long time spans (e.g. GPSDO)? From the discussion it seems
that a second or third order Taylor would be sufficient to capture
aging for a span of 10-100 days.
