Mean (± SEM) LH burst mass, burst half-duration and luteinizing hormone (LH) half-life characterizing the synthetic data series and recovered by application of AutoDecon to the synthetic data series. In each case, and for all groups (i.e. early follicular, late follicular, mid-luteal and post-menopausal) AutoDecon returned values that are statistically indistinguishable from the values known to characterize the synthetic data series (p> 0.05).
