Abstract

A method, computer program product and system of minimizing epigenetic surprisal data either by comparing epigenetic surprisal data to a fixed baseline epigenetic data, so that all of the comparisons were made to the same baseline epigenetic data or by comparing epigenetic surprisal data to a rolling baseline of epigenetic surprisal data—that is, after each comparison the baseline is changed to the data from the time point which had been compared previously.
