Abstract
In this paper, two linear prediction algorithms and the Allan deviation are used to determine the uncertainty on time calibrations performed against predicted timescales. The proposed algorithms are shown to be close to optimal and have the advantage of bounding the timescale prediction error without requiring a noise model of the timescale process.
