Abstract
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, and other information, such as signal-to-noise information, from a physiological signal. The system may generate at least one difference signal based on the physiological signal and sort the at least one difference signal to generate at least one sorted difference signal. The system may analyze the at least one sorted difference signal to determine at least two values indicative of noise. The system may determine a value indicative of a signal-to-noise ratio based on the two or more values indicative of noise.
