Abstract :
The multi-variance analysis yields a better sensitivity for the measurement of the frequency noise altering the oscillators as well as an estimation of the measurement uncertainties. This method has been improved in order to measure simultaneously drift and noise coefficients and non-equally spaced timing sequences. We defined a new standard of time stability measurement which is used for classical clocks as well as millisecond pulsars.<>
