- A univariate model object of class <code><a href='http://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stats/topics/lm'>lm</a></code> or
- <code><a href='http://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/MASS/topics/rlm'>rlm</a></code>
- with model formula <code>y ~ x</code> or <code>y ~ x - 1</code>,
- optionally from a weighted regression.
- </dd>
- <dt>...</dt>
- <dd>
- Placeholder for further arguments that might be needed by
- future implementations.
- </dd>
- <dt>alpha</dt>
- <dd>
- The error tolerance for the decision limit (critical value).
- </dd>
- <dt>beta</dt>
- <dd>
- The error tolerance beta for the detection limit.
- </dd>
- <dt>method</dt>
- <dd>
- The &#147;default&#148; 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 &#147;din&#148; method uses the prediction interval at
- x = 0 as an approximation.
- </dd>
- <dt>tol</dt>
- <dd>
- When the &#147;default&#148; 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.

- <h2>Description</h2>
-
- <p>The decision limit (German: Nachweisgrenze) is defined as the signal or
- analyte concentration that is significantly different from the blank signal
- with a first order error alpha (one-sided significance test).
- The detection limit, or more precise, the minimum detectable value
- (German: Erfassungsgrenze), is then defined as the signal or analyte
- concentration where the probability that the signal is not detected although
- the analyte is present (type II or false negative error), is beta (also a
- one-sided significance test).</p>
-
- </div>
-
- <div class="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='http://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/stats/topics/predict.lm'>predict.lm</a></code>
- function, which is currently not supported in R.</p>
