An embodiment of a method for correcting an error associated with phasic synchrony of sequence data generated from a population of template molecules is described that comprises the steps of detecting signals generated in response to nucleotide species introduced during a sequencing reaction; generating an observed value for the signal detected from each of the nucleotide species; defining positive incorporation values and negative incorporation values from the observed values using a carry forward value and an incomplete extension value; revising the carry forward value and the incomplete extension value using a noise value that is derived from observed values associated with the negative incorporation values; re-defining the positive incorporation values and the negative incorporation values using the revised carry forward value and the revised incomplete extension value; and repeating the steps of revising and re-defining until convergence of the positive incorporation values and the negative incorporation values

System and method for detecting suspicious process faults. A preferred embodiment comprises determining a strength relationship between wafer acceptance test (WAT) parameters and process steps. The strength relationships indicate the affect of a failed process step on the value of a WAT parameter. Thus, if a WAT parameter is not within the parameters set in the WAT, then the suspicious process steps that caused the failure are the process steps that had a strength relationship with the failed WAT parameter. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, negative inferences are determined and utilized to determine a degree of suspiciousness. The degree of suspiciousness is used to determine a total degree of suspiciousness.
