An improved matrix method for evaluating UTC offset uncertainties in the presence of link noises

By applying the Algos timescale algorithm to a worldwide ensemble of clocks, the BIPM calculates the offset of UTC from the UTC realization of each participating laboratory. Given the uncertainties and correlations of the time-transfer links between the laboratories, one can evaluate the resultant uncertainties and correlations of the offsets. This paper gives an improved and simplified method for carrying out these evaluations.
