31// rate = Number of events / time in which the events were recorded
32// r = N / t
33// s = t / N = 1 / r mean time interval between consecutive events
34//
35// for an exponential distribution of the time differences d between
36// consecutive events:

38// s = <d>
39// sigma(d) = <d> = s

41// delta(s) / s = 1 / sqrt(N)
