+ <div class="Description">
+ <h2>Description</h2>
+
+ <p>The limit of quantification is the x value, where the relative error
+ of the quantification given the calibration model reaches a prespecified
+ value 1/k. Thus, it is the solution of the equation
+ $$L = k c(L)$$
+ where c(L) is half of the length of the confidence interval at the limit L
+ (DIN 32645, equivalent to ISO 11843). c(L) is internally estimated by
+ <code><a href='inverse.predict.html'>inverse.predict</a></code>, and L is obtained by iteration.</p>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="Note">
+ <h2>Note</h2>
+
+ <p>- IUPAC recommends to base the LOQ on the standard deviation of the signal
+ where x = 0.
+ - The calculation of a LOQ based on weighted regression is non-standard
+ and therefore not tested. Feedback is welcome.</p>
