Abstract
The time-dependent CP violation measurements need a variety of analysis methods. In this chapter the vertex reconstruction algorithms for the spatial measurements of particle decays, the modelling of resolution effects, the flavor tagging procedure, the fit models for time-integrated and time-dependent measurements and the continuum suppression technique realised by artificial neural networks are described.
