1. A method for determining an intentional leak characteristic curve for a respiratory therapy system, comprising:
receiving a plurality of flow rate values associated with pressurized air directed to an airway of a user of the respiratory therapy system;
receiving a plurality of pressure values associated with the pressurized air directed to the airway of the user, each of the plurality of pressure values corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of flow rate values;
identifying a first time associated with a first breath of the user and a second time associated with a second breath of the user;
filtering the plurality of flow rate values based at least in part on the identified first time and the identified second time, the filtering producing a subset of the plurality of flow rate values; and
determining the intentional leak characteristic curve for the respiratory therapy system using at least two of the subset of the plurality of flow rate values and the corresponding pressure values for said at least two of the subset of the plurality of flow rate values.
