1. A method for data processing using one or more processors, comprising:
- retrieving a predetermined number of stored signals associated with a monitored analyte level;
processing a received signal associated with the monitored analyte level and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals to determine a tolerance parameter, the tolerance parameter including a predetermined number of acceptable missing data points;
comparing the tolerance parameter to a predetermined tolerance range corresponding to a dynamically varying uncertainty parameter determined based upon a number of data available for determining trend information;
determining that the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range by at least determining that no more than the predetermined number of acceptable missing data points from the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals is missing;
in response to determining that the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range, determining the trend information; and
providing an indicator on a display of a computing device indicating an analyte level trend based on the determined trend information.

9. An analyte monitoring device, comprising:
-
a data processing unit; and a memory operatively coupled to the data processing unit, the memory configured for storing instructions which, when executed by the data processing unit, causes the data processing unit to; retrieve a predetermined number of stored signals associated with a monitored analyte level, process a received signal associated with the monitored analyte level and the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals to determine a tolerance parameter, the tolerance parameter including a predetermined number of acceptable missing data points; compare the tolerance parameter to a predetermined tolerance range corresponding to a dynamically varying uncertainty parameter determined based upon a number of data available for determining trend information; determine that the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range by at least determining that no more than the predetermined number of acceptable missing data points from the retrieved predetermined number of stored signals is missing; in response to determining that the tolerance parameter is within the predetermined tolerance range, determine the trend information; and provide an indicator on a display of the analyte monitoring device indicating an analyte level trend based on the determined trend information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
