Abstract
A method of measuring a biological process, the method including the steps of: (a) determining a probability density function for a series of repeated measurements of the biological process; (b) approximating the probability density function utilising a parametric formula; (c) determining a maximum likelihood estimator for the parametric formulation of the probability density function; and (d) utilising the maximum likelihood estimator for subsequent measurements of the biological process.
