Sample e-norms plot. Cumulative density (curve) first-order difference (dots) of a simulated variable with 1,000 data points and a mean of 20 and standard deviation of 1.5. When a straight-line fit is overlaid on the inverted S curve, the plot of the first-order difference reveals the range of data points with low first-order difference, helping to identify inflection points A and B.
