Delay estimation simulations and a normalized comparison of published results

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Three recent publications have reported delay-estimate variances from simulations using the generalized cross-correlator method on both stationary random signals with noise and deterministic signals with noise. Further simulations with finite energy signals are reported here. A method of comparing the three reported data sets is developed, and a remarkable consistency is observed even though the simulation parameters have varied widely.
