For three equally spaced observations with constant bias from -1 min to 1 min and independent normally distributed random errors with standard deviation labeled sd results from the previously listed FORTRAN Monte-Carlo simulation using 100,000 runs are as shown.
Results can be nondimensionalized by sd.
| sd=.5 | 0.25 | 1 | |
| -1 | 93% | 100% | 60% |
| -0.9 | 90% | 100% | 55% |
| -0.8 | 85% | 100% | 50% |
| -0.7 | 78% | 99% | 45% |
| -0.6 | 69% | 98% | 40% |
| -0.5 | 60% | 93% | 36% |
| -0.4 | 50% | 85% | 32% |
