Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for modeling a relationship between glucose sensitivity and a sensor electrical property are described herein. More particularly, the methods, systems, and devices describe partitioning an input signal feature space relating glucose sensitivity and a sensor electrical property into subspaces and training a model for each subspace. For example, the subspace models may form a mosaic of models, for which the output is more accurate than a single model.
