Time delay between the two emissions
The typical amplitude of a GW burst, on Earth, associated to a single GRB, is:
It implies an intrinsic difficulty relating the upper limit on the amplitude,in general, interpreting the measurement results.
10-22 M1/2 R(Gpc)
But there is no clear predictions about t=|tGRB-tGW|
h =R = distance M = amount of GW energy emitted (Mo)
By experiment, it is possible to solve the problem, correlating the data of 2 GW detectorsEssentially, two methodologies are possible:Coincidence analysisCross-correlation technique (advised in nonstationary noise conditions)

Searching for GW signals under variable delay hypothesis
The basic idea of the analysis is the simultaneity of the signal on two GW detectors.
•Apply the usual data selection criteria evaluating the temperature noise in the time interval around the GRB time
•Select and cross-correlate data of the coincident intervals of the two GW detectors.
•Apply the usual cumulative algorithm to the cross-correlation function
