</h2>
<p>chemCal works with univariate linear models of class <code>lm</code>. Working with one of the datasets coming with chemCal, we can produce a calibration plot using the <code>calplot</code> function:</p>

</h3>
<p>If you use unweighted regression, as in the above example, we can calculate a Limit Of Detection (LOD) from the calibration data.</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb3"><pre class="downlit sourceCode r">

<p>This is the minimum detectable value (German: Erfassungsgrenze), i.e. the value where the probability that the signal is not detected although the analyte is present is below a specified error tolerance beta (default is 0.05 following the IUPAC recommendation).</p>
<p>You can also calculate the decision limit (German: Nachweisgrenze), i.e. the value that is significantly different from the blank signal with an error tolerance alpha (default is 0.05, again following IUPAC recommendations) by setting beta to 0.5.</p>

<p>Furthermore, you can calculate the Limit Of Quantification (LOQ), being defined as the value where the relative error of the quantification given the calibration model reaches a prespecified value (default is 1/3).</p>

<p>Finally, you can get a confidence interval for the values measured using the calibration curve, i.e. for the inverse predictions using the function <code>inverse.predict</code>.</p>
