摘要 |
<p>Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present teachings incorporate a set of possible signal transforms that can be used to examine the baseline region of an amplification profile for noise. In embodiments, a difference time series analysis can be performed to determine deviations of detected fluorescent or other signal intensity in the early cycles of a PCR or other reaction over a median difference time series magnitude. In embodiments, difference time series analysis or other detection techniques can be performed over different hop sizes producing a multi-resolution analysis. In embodiments, the amplification profile can be transmitted to a set of noise detectors whose individual results or decisions are polled or weighted to determine the presence of noise in the baseline or other region. In embodiments, a second derivative analysis on the baseline region can be performed.</p> |
