The reason for using OLS estimator? #42

Open Sisyphuss opened 8 years ago

Sisyphuss commented 8 years ago

In the Readme.md, it is said that Benchmarks.jl uses OLS for very fast computations. However, OLS is usually used when the samples are independent and with the same level of noise. It is absolutely not the case here.

Moreover, shouldn't it be reasonable to use the time taken by the fastest runnings as estimator, in order to eliminate the disturbance caused by other processes in the CPU?
