pub fn clock_reference_offset(
reference: &Sp3,
other: &Sp3,
min_common: usize,
) -> Vec<ClockReferenceOffset>Expand description
Estimate the per-epoch reference-clock offset of other relative to
reference.
For each epoch present in both products, the offset is the median over the
satellites both report (each with a finite clock) of
other_clock - reference_clock. The median makes the estimate robust to a
single satellite whose clock one center has wrong - but only with enough
satellites, so min_common is the minimum number of common clocked
satellites required to emit an offset for an epoch (a sound robust median
wants at least three, so one outlier can be outvoted). Epochs with fewer
common clocks are omitted rather than reported as a fragile one- or
two-satellite estimate.
Epochs are matched by their J2000 second floored to a whole second (the same
node-axis convention the interpolator uses). Non-finite clock differences are
skipped. Epochs present in only one product, or below min_common, are
omitted from the result.
