Abstract
A system and method of separating subject data from background data in a signal data set includes generating a frequency distribution of the subject data and background data based on a characteristic; identifying a maximum of the frequency distribution; establishing a first threshold to one side of the maximum; establishing a second threshold to another side of the maximum; and assigning data outside the first and second thresholds as one of the subject data and the background data.
