MotivationBiomedical signal is under- and irregularly
sampled and very noisy due to circardian rythme, assay methods, and confounding factors, among others.
Challenge: Finding signal from noiseOur objective: correct for structural noise
due to assay methodsInnovation: blindly distinguish the assay
methods using mixture of regression.Result: Successfully applied to calibrating
estimated Glomerular Filatration Rate (eGFR)

Sample results for one patient (original data)
Phase 0 Phase 1Phase 2
Phases 0, 1 and 2 are found via mixture of
linear regression
Both time-series are
indistinguishable
