Signal-to-Noise Ratio Harvest Exchange Updated Sun, Jan 22, 2017, 7:53 PM ...

To be intelligible, any data that's transmitted by any means, electronic or otherwise, must rise above any accompanying noise. The measure of that intelligibility is called its signal-to-noise ratio.

Measured in decibels, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, S/N) measures the clarity of the signal in a circuit or a wired or wireless transmission channel. See interference-to-noise ratio.

So by focusing on the short-term variability (or random noise) of your investment, there's a high likelihood that you'll completely miss the signal - i.e., the investment's long-term 90%+ winning ...

In a world full of noise, I’m trying to consistently hit signal. And if I’m not consistently hitting on things that resonate with you—you can easily fire me by unsubscribing.

Miss the first segment? Here it is: Part I Sources of Timing Jitter, Amplitude Noise, and Signal Integrity Jitter and noise are deviations from an ideal signal. Jitter and noise can have many causes.

Combining images produces a superior signal-to-noise ratio. Compare the single 450-second image on the top to the one on the bottom, which resulted from combining (stacking) eight 450-second images.
