-The \chemCal{} package was first designed in the course of a lecture and lab
-course on "analytics of organic trace contaminants" at the University of Bremen
-from October to December 2004. In the fall 2005, an email exchange with
-Ron Wehrens led to the belief that it could be heavily improved if the
-inverse prediction method given in \cite{massart97} would be implemented,
-since it also covers the case of weighted regression.
-
-At the moment, the package only consists of two functions, working
-on univariate linear models of class \texttt{lm} or \texttt{rlm}.

When calibrating an analytical method, the first task is to generate
-a suitable model. If we want to use the \chemCal{} functions, we
