Et si on suppose que le biais et la variance du modèle ne changent pas durant les intégrations du modèle, on peut exprimer la croissance d’erreur MSE de la manière suivante:

t R t E

  • f

∂ ∂ − = ∂ ∂ σ σ 2

2

t R t E

  • f

∂ ∂ = ∂ ∂ σ σ 2

2

Si on suppose encore que le facteur de décorrélation est le même pour les deux modèles, alors on obtient que la croissance d’erreur MSE dépend linéairement de la variance du modèle. Étant donné que deux signaux se “décorrèlent” plus rapidement quand la variance est plus grande (ce qui n’est pas montré ici), on peut s’attendre à ce que le lien entre la croissance d’erreur et la variance soit plus sévère que cette relation linéaire.

Pour une comparaison “fair”, les deux modèles doivent être évalués au même niveau de variance. C’est-à- dire, on doit filtrer la solution du modèle à plus haute résolution pour

  • btenir un spectre de variance

semblable à celui du modèle à plus basse résolution. Si les deux variances sont les même, alors on obtient:
