function [retval, s, errorb, tau] = allan_overlap(data,tau,name,verbose)
% ALLAN_OVERLAP  Compute the overlapping Allan deviation for a set of
%   time-domain frequency data
% [RETVAL, S, ERRORB, TAU] = ALLAN_OVERLAP(DATA,TAU,NAME,VERBOSE)
%
% Inputs:
% DATA should be a struct and have the following fields:
%  DATA.freq or DATA.phase
%			   A vector of fractional frequency measurements (df/f) in
%			   DATA.freq *or* phase offset data (seconds) in DATA.phase
%			   If phase data is not present, it will be generated by
%				integrating the fractional frequency data.
%			   If both fields are present, then DATA.phase will be used.
%
%  DATA.rate or DATA.time
%			   The sampling rate in Hertz (DATA.rate) or a vector of
%				timestamps for each measurement in seconds (DATA.time).
%			   DATA.rate is used if both fields are present.
%			   If DATA.rate == 0, then the timestamps are used.
%
% TAU is an array of tau values for computing Allan deviation.
%	 TAU values must be divisible by 1/DATA.rate (data points cannot be
%	 grouped in fractional quantities!). Invalid values are ignored.
% NAME is an optional label that is added to the plot titles.
% VERBOSE sets the level of status messages:
%	 0 = silent & no data plots; 1 = status messages; 2 = all messages 
%
% Outputs:
% RETVAL is the array of overlapping Allan deviation values at each TAU.
% S is an optional output of other statistical measures of the data (mean, std, etc).
% ERRORB is an optional output containing the error estimates for a 1-sigma
%   confidence interval. Error bars are plotted as vertical lines at each point.
% TAU is an optional output containing the array of tau values used in the
%   calculation (which may be a truncated subset of the input or default values).
%
% Example:
%
% To compute the overlapping Allan deviation for the data in the variable "lt":
% >> lt
% lt = 
%	 freq: [1x86400 double]
%	 rate: 0.5
%
% Use:
%
% >> ado = allan_overlap(lt,[2 10 100],'lt data',1);
%
% The Allan deviation will be computed and plotted at tau = 2,10,100 seconds.
%  1-sigma confidence intervals will be indicated by vertical lines.
% You can also use the default settings, which are usually a good starting point:
%
% >> ado = allan_overlap(lt);
%
%
% Notes:
%  This function calculates the overlapping Allan deviation (ADEV), *not* the
%   standard ADEV. Use "allan.m" for standard ADEV.
%  The calculation is performed using phase data. If only frequency data is
%   provided, phase data is generated by integrating the frequency data.
%   However, the timestamp-based calculation is performed using frequency
%   data. Phase data is differentiated to generate frequency data if necessary.
%  No pre-processing of the data is performed, except to remove any
%   initial offset in the time record. 
%  For rate-based data, ADEV is computed only for tau values greater than the
%   minimum time between samples and less than the half the total time. For
%   time-stamped data, only tau values greater than the maximum gap between
%   samples and less than half the total time are used.
%  The calculation for fixed sample rate data is *much* faster than for
%   time-stamp data. You may wish to run the rate-based calculation first,
%   then compare with time-stamp-based. Often the differences are insignificant.
%  The error bars at each point are calculated using the 1-sigma intervals
%   based on the size of the data set. This is usually an overestimate for
%   overlapping ADEV; a more accurate (and usually smaller uncertainty)
%   value can be determined from chi-squared statistics, but that is not
%   implemented in this version.
%  You can choose between loglog and semilog plotting of results by
%   commenting in/out the appropriate line. Search for "#PLOTLOG".
%  This function has been validated using the test data from NBS Monograph
%   140, the 1000-point test data set given by Riley [1], and the example data
%   given in IEEE standard 1139-1999, Annex C.
%   The author welcomes other validation results, see contact info below.
