Abstract :
In this paper, the time effective calculation methods of the maximum time interval error estimate (MTˆIE) are proposed. The formula of the MTIE estimator and the time error sequence measurement conditions are presented. The method of MTˆIE calculation based directly on the estimator´s definition is the first method presented. Then the methods which enable computation of the MTIE estimate in a rather short time are proposed. The experiment of MTˆIE calculation using the presented method is described. The comparison between the methods is made. The pros and cons of the proposed methods are pointed out
