To ensure that a peak will not flatten out too much when averag-
ing over a wide range, the basis time intervals are weighted less
strongly at the beginning and end than those in the middle of the
interval (see Table 2, column 3). Nevertheless, a greater time
constant means that greater parts of the peak will be detected
and the probability that weak peaks may still be detected will be
improved.
