Max amplitude (delta / ratio) Max slope Decrease slope storage No. of peaks Time of peaks Ca+2 (nM) Sustained (delta/ratio) basal Time (sec) Time of max slope Time of max amp Curve Feature Extraction Estimating the feature: X is calcium level, t is time (sec) basal level = mean(X,t=5-35) max amplitude delta = max (X,t=60-300) - basal level max amplitude ratio = max (X,t=60-300) / basal level max rise-slope = max(diff(X, t=60-300)) sustained = max (X, t=240-480)- basal level max amplitude of store = max(X,t=600-700) peaks No.  X is filtered by a low-pass filter,into Xf. dXf,the derivative of Xf is calculated. Successive groups of alternatively positive and negative groups of dXf are defined. Positive groups with sum of dXf higher than a threshold are counted as a peak. pre-stimulation peaks No.=peaks No. at t<60 early peaks No.= peaks No. at 60<t<200 late peaks No.= .= peaks No. at 200<t<600; (t=60 ligand addition, t=600 calcium store release)

The separation measure is the ratio of between-group variance to within-group variance, for a certain linear combination Fig. Example for cluster’s enrichment and separation. Cluster B is enriched with the blue, cluster C is enrich with the red. Both features, 1 & 2, could be used for separation
