Claim One:
1. A method for signal processing wherein said signal being processed is representative of a physical property, said method operable to transform an input signal into an output signal, comprising the steps of: a. forming a plurality of comparator outputs of a respective plurality of comparators by passing said input signal and a plurality of feedbacks of Offset Rank Signals through a respective plurality of said comparators, said Offset Rank Signals having Offset Quantile Parameters; b. forming a weighted difference of said feedbacks of the Offset Rank Signals; c. forming a plurality of differences between the comparators outputs and the respective Offset Quantile Parameters of said Offset Rank Signals; d. forming a plurality of time derivatives of said Offset Rank Signals by multiplying each of said plurality of differences by said weighted difference; e. producing the plurality of said Offset Rank Signals by time-integrating said plurality of time derivatives; and f. producing said output signal as a weighted average of said Offset Rank Signals.
