Methods for discriminating between two or more different target nucleic acids in amplification reactions comprise signals comprising an amplitude measurement representing the degree of amplification of each target nucleic acid in the amplification reaction and the time point in the amplification reaction at which the amplitude is measured; determining an efficiency related transform of the data, determining an efficiency related value for each target nucleic acid that is the maximum magnitude of the efficiency related transform; and outputting the efficiency related values in the amplification reaction for each target nucleic acid, where the relative amplitudes of the efficiency related values for each target nucleic acid is an indicator of the presence of each of said nucleic acids in said sample.
