- obtaining a first set of measured input values from a physiological sensor;
obtaining one or more additional sets of measured input values from the physiological sensor, wherein obtaining each of said one or more additional sets of measured input values comprisesreapplying the physiological sensor, andobtaining a set of measured input values;
calculating a predicted parameter value for each of the first and additional sets of measured input values;
discarding one or more of the calculated predicted parameter values;
determining, from the remaining predicted parameter values, a final predicted parameter value;
providing an indication of the final predicted parameter value to a user.

Abstract
In a physiological sensor that estimates a true parameter value by providing a predicted parameter value, multiple measurements are taken to increase the accuracy of the predicted parameter value. The sensor can be reapplied between measurements to decrease the probability of an erroneous prediction caused by sensor misplacement. Some measurements can be discarded before calculating a predicted parameter value. The physiological sensor can have a plurality of modes, with one of the modes corresponding to multiple measurement process.
