Analyte Measurement

A method for configuring a device to determine a concentration of an analyte, the method using a plurality of m fluid samples, each fluid sample of the m fluid samples having a corresponding known analyte concentration, the method comprising:

• for each fluid sample of the m fluid samples:
• generating an output signal from the fluid sample;
• recording values of the output signal over time;
• and
• modelling at least a subset of the recorded values of the output signal using n basis functions to obtain n coefficients, each coefficient being associated with a corresponding basis function, the n basis functions and n coefficients representing the output signal for the subset;
• performing a statistical analysis of the m×n coefficients and corresponding known analyte concentrations to determine a set of n parameters from which an analyte concentration can be estimated based on a set of n coefficients obtained for a fluid sample for which the analyte concentration is unknown;
• and
• storing the set of n parameters in a memory of one or more devices.
