A method of determining the transition shift timing in a measured optical signal from an optical recording medium as well as applications of the method in connection with optimizing a write strategy and analyzing the write quality for an optical recording medium are disclosed. The method comprising the step of: providing values of a measured optical signal, providing modulation bits corresponding to the measured optical signal, calculating a model signal by means of an optical channel model, and determining an output timing of the leading and trailing edges from a mathematical model. The method being a recursive method which is continued until a predetermined criterion is fulfilled. The final output is the average transition shifts of the channel bits of the measured CA signal as they are on the optical recording medium. The applications of the method include but are not limited to: a module for determining the average transition shifts, an optical recording apparatus with means for adjusting the write strategy according to the average transition shifts, and an IC for controlling an optical recording apparatus.
