    Abstract: A method for interpreting physiological data includes obtaining a capnogram; obtaining a plurality of data points from the expiratory rise segment and the alveolar plateau segment of the capnogram; fitting a non-linear function to the plurality of data points; and calculating a plurality of calculated parameters that characterize the non-linear function. The obtaining of data point, fitting of a non-linear function, and calculating parameters may be performed for two or more successive capnogram waveforms. The non-linear function may be a cumulative Weibull function.
