This came up in a conversation with John Evers a couple of days ago. Neither of us knew the answer, so I thought I'd throw it out there in the hope that someone with an understanding of RTK inner workings will chime in.
The question: What's the difference between taking, say, a single observation of 180 epochs, versus 3 observations of 60 epochs, versus 18 observations of 10 epochs, assuming that all 3 scenarios occur within the same 180-epoch span? Are the longer shots simply averaging the epoch-by-epoch positions, or is something more sophisticated (and presumably useful) going on behind the scenes?
