A signal processing operator successfully expands the dynamic range of a histogram of digital data, such as that representative of biological cell populations, including human blood cells subjected to flow cytometry processing, without introducing binning artifacts into the transformed data. The inventive data mapping scheme effectively preserves statistical probability distribution characteristics of the original data, that would otherwise be removed or lost in the course of expanding the dynamic range of a quantized histogram data set through the use of a conventional log transformation. Filtering is unnecessary, as the binning effect is countered early in the process, to preserve statistical properties of the cell populations under study. |
