Claim One:
1. A method of describing a measured response from a process receiving at least one inputs and producing at least one responses, said process having nonlinearities of at least one of a minimum input or minimum amount of accumulated input to produce a non-minimal response measurement and a maximum response measurement, on a second scale accounting for said nonlinearities where the process is modeled as a process linear on the second scale, by converting the response according to a slope and offset comprising: (a) defining said slope as the range of inputs or range of accumulated inputs that produces a range of measurable responses that are neither minimal nor maximal responses, divided by said range of measurable responses over said range of inputs or accumulated inputs; (b) defining an offset parameter as an input or quantity of accumulated inputs required to establish a non-minimal measurable response; and (c) calculating the second response as the measured response multiplied by said response, plus the offset.
