ON-LINE DIGITAL COMPUTATION OF THE VARIANCE OF A TIME SERIES

Abstract

Statistical variance has been widely used in propagation studies associated with radio direction finding for many years. With the advent at this laboratory of high speed digital computing machinery, it is advisable to explore methods of on and off line calculation of variance, with particular emphasis placed on on-line computations. It is not the purpose of this note to judge whether or not variance is the correct parameter to use, but to find ways for calcu lating it.
