METHODS FOR MEASURING ANALYTE IN A SUBJECT AND/OR COMPENSATING FOR INCOMPLETE REACTION INVOLVING DETECTION OF THE ANALYTE

The present invention relates to a predictive-kinetic method for use with data processing of a sensor-generated signal, as well as, microprocessors and monitoring systems employing such a predictive-kinetic method. Data from a transient region of a signal is used with suitable models and curve-fitting methods to predict the signal that would be measured for the system at the completion of the reaction. The values resulting from data processing of sensor response using the methods of the present invention are less sensitive to measurement variables.
