Short summary
In this study, we propose a probabilistic method based on the Gaussian mixture model to estimate the slope of a data profile. The Gaussian mixture method (GMM) not only obtains the expected value of the slope by differentiating the conditional expectation of the data, but also yields the variance of the slope regarding the errors in the calculation of the first derivative.
