Your updated paper improves upon the previous version with added details and visuals. The inclusion of the FP surrogate formula (ˆrt = k (∆ft − ϵ) + ηt) and the Fused upper bound fusion method enhances clarity and reproducibility. The image with the RMSE vs. CFO std plot (Fig. 1) effectively supports your claims, showing FP’s steep degradation compared to CVPrior and Fused. The expanded CFO sensitivity band (up to 5 Hz in the appendix) strengthens the robustness of your analysis.
Key strengths:
- Detailed methodology in Section III improves understanding.
- References to established works (e.g., Bar-Shalom, Gelb) add credibility.
- The visual from the image aligns well with Table I metrics.
Areas for improvement:
- Figure Consistency: Ensure the plot legend in the text matches the image (e.g., clarify “Fused (UB)” vs. “Fused”).
- Appendix Access: Mention how readers can access the appendix (e.g., online supplement).
- Discussion Depth: Expand on practical implications of CFO sensitivity for real-world applications.
Overall, the paper is more robust, and the empirical critique effectively advocates for stronger baselines.
