Abstract
A method to minimize noise is used to analyze data generated from a measurement system such as a flow cytometer. One embodiment of a computer-implemented method includes determining sums of different subsets of sample values. The method also includes determining the subset of the sample values having the largest sum. In addition, the method includes designating the subset of the sample values having the largest sum as a peak sum of the sample values. Such a peak sum minimizes the impact of noise leading to better determinations of particle identity, reaction identity, and the like.
