Abstract:
1. A system for performing a data analysis comprising: a processor; a curve fit module that determines a curve fit function for a data set generated from a biological assay, wherein a plurality of parameters are associated with the curve fit function, and each parameter is associated with a characteristic of the curve fit function; a parameter dependence determination module that determines a plurality dependence values, wherein one dependence value is determined for each of the plurality of parameters associated with the curve fit function; a parameter independence determination module that applies a non-linear mapping to each of the plurality of dependence values to develop a plurality of independence values, wherein an independence value is associated with each parameter of the curve fit function; and a graphical indicator generation module that generates on a display device associated with the processor a plurality of non-numerical graphical indicators, wherein each graphical indicator is generated in accordance with a respective one of the plurality of independence values, and where the graphical indicator for a particular independence value indicates a degree of independence of the one parameter associated with the particular independence value from other parameters of the plurality of parameters.
