Claim One:
1. A method for signal processing operable to transform an input signal into an output signal comprising the steps of: a. forming a plurality of outputs of delayed comparators by passing said input signal and a plurality of feedbacks of Offset Rank Filtered Signals through a respective plurality of said delayed comparators, said Offset Rank Filtered Signals having Offset Quantile Parameters; b. forming a first difference which is a weighted difference of said outputs of the delayed comparators; c. forming a Density Function by time averaging said first difference; d. forming a second difference which is a weighted difference of said feedbacks of the Offset Rank Filtered Signals; e. forming a plurality of differences between the outputs of the delayed comparators and the respective Offset Quantile Parameters of said Offset Rank Filtered Signals; f. forming a plurality of time derivatives of said Offset Rank Filtered Signals by multiplying each of said plurality of differences by a ratio of said second difference and said Density Function; g. producing the plurality of said Offset Rank Filtered Signals by time-integrating said plurality of time derivatives; and h. producing said output signal as a weighted average of said Offset Rank Filtered Signals.
