Flowchart that documents the algorithm used on Matlab for RTL analyses. The input variable “data” contains all the information about the events to be analyzed. 𝑃 test and 𝑡, are respectively, the position and the time to be studied, whereas IT1 and IT2 individuate the interval of time to be considered for the RTL analysis. Clearly the constants “ref_𝑑,” “ref_𝑡,” “ref𝑀,” and “ref𝐷” correspond, respectively, to 𝑟_𝑜, 𝑡_𝑜, 𝑀_min, and 𝑑_𝑜.
