The term combined differential photometric precision (CDPP) has been used for a particular calculation performed in processing Kepler Telescope (and TESS and similar) data. It is a measure of the precision achieved by the processing that includes statistical techniques and accommodation for systematic errors. It can be thought of as an observation's brightness-difference in parts per million (PPM) that represents a signal-to-noise ratio of 1.
