<dd><p>A univariate model object of class <code><a href="https://rdrr.io/r/stats/lm.html" class="external-link">lm</a></code> or
<code><a href="https://rdrr.io/pkg/MASS/man/rlm.html" class="external-link">rlm</a></code> with model formula <code>y ~ x</code> or <code>y ~ x -

future implementations.</p></dd>
<dt>alpha</dt>
<dd><p>The error tolerance for the decision limit (critical value).</p></dd>
<dt>beta</dt>
<dd><p>The error tolerance beta for the detection limit.</p></dd>
<dt>method</dt>
<dd><p>The “default” method uses a prediction interval at the
LOD for the estimation of the LOD, which obviously requires iteration. This
is described for example in Massart, p. 432 ff. The “din” method
uses the prediction interval at x = 0 as an approximation.</p></dd>
<dt>tol</dt>
<dd><p>When the “default” method is used, the default tolerance
for the LOD on the x scale is the value of the smallest non-zero standard
divided by 1000. Can be set to a numeric value to override this.</p></dd>
</dl></div>
<div id="value">
<h2>Value</h2>
<p>A list containig the corresponding x and y values of the estimated
limit of detection of a model used for calibration.</p>
</div>
<div id="note">
<h2>Note</h2>
<p>* The default values for alpha and beta are the ones recommended by IUPAC.
* The estimation of the LOD in terms of the analyte amount/concentration xD
from the LOD in the signal domain SD is done by simply inverting the
calibration function (i.e. assuming a known calibration function).
* The calculation of a LOD from weighted calibration models requires a
weights argument for the internally used <code><a href="https://rdrr.io/r/stats/predict.lm.html" class="external-link">predict.lm</a></code>
function, which is currently not supported in R.</p>
