Statistical analysis is capable of reaching BER levels as low as 10^-12 and beyond. Still, statistical simulation is unable to consider some important effects/impairments, mostly associated with non-stationary or non-linear behavior such as:

• Correlation of logical states in the input pattern
• Data-dependence of transition waveform shapes, manifesting non-LTI behavior
• Accurate consideration of transmit jitter and noise, including data-dependent

This white paper proposes a way to accurately consider all these effects in a single statistical analysis flow.
