We measure jitter directly on wideband signals. The DSO (digital sampling oscilloscope) does jitter separation (usually gets it right, not always) and generates histograms, eye plots, spectra, and a wealth of useful tables about the jitter components. Costs about $500k USD, better up your donations boys and girls, Christmas is coming and we could get Amir a new toy!
In the end nobody outside the test and standards world (well, and some R&D folk) cares about the jitter itself; we care about what it does to the signals we are listening to (or whatever).
IOW, what Amir said.
