Resumen:
We present the first results of a simulation oriented to obtain synthetic differential light curves, which contemplate situations with different atmospheric and instrumental conditions, looking foward to obtain real cases. Our aim is to test the different statistical tools that are used in the analysis of variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs).In particular, we analyze the behaviour of these synthetic light curves taking into account the C and F statistics. The present work is a continuation of the analysis of a 39 AGN sample, studied before by Romero et al. 1999 and Romero et al. 2002, and re-analyzed by Zibecchi et al. 2012. Results from the previous work are compared with those obtained in the simulation.
