1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals associated with a monitored analyte level detected by an in vivo analyte sensor for a predetermined time period;
comparing, using one or more processors, each of the plurality of the received signals to a predefined signal range;
determining, using the one or more processors, a number of missing or unavailable analyte values based upon the comparison of the received signals to the predefined signal range;
dynamically modifying, using the one or more processors, an uncertainty parameter associated with an analyte trend information, wherein the uncertainty parameter is dynamically modified based upon the determined number of missing or unavailable analyte values; and
determining the analyte trend information based on the uncertainty parameter.

18. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a signal associated with a monitored analyte level of an individual from an in vivo analyte sensor; retrieving, using one or more processors, at least one previously stored signal associated with the monitored analyte level of the individual; comparing, using the one or more processors, the received signal to the retrieved at least one previously stored signal; determining, using the one or more processors, a number of missing or unavailable analyte values based upon the comparison of the received signal to the retrieved at least one previously stored signal; dynamically modifying, using the one or more processors, a tolerance parameter associated with a rate of change of the monitored analyte level based on the received signal and the retrieved at least one previously stored signal, the tolerance parameter including an uncertainty value associated with the rate of change of the monitored analyte level including corrupt or erroneous data associated with the monitored analyte level or the determined number of missing data associated with the monitored analyte level, wherein the tolerance parameter is dynamically modified based upon the determined number of missing or unavailable analyte values; comparing, using the one or more processors, the tolerance parameter to a predetermined threshold value; and generating, using the one or more processors, an output data based on the result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
