\title{Predict x from y for a linear calibration}
\usage{inverse.predict(object, newdata, \dots,
ws, alpha=0.05, var.s = "auto")
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{
A univariate model object of class \code{\link{lm}} or
\code{\link[MASS:rlm]{rlm}}
with model formula \code{y ~ x} or \code{y ~ x - 1}.
}
\item{newdata}{
A vector of observed y values for one sample.
}
\item{\dots}{
Placeholder for further arguments that might be needed by
future implementations.
}
\item{ws}{
The weight attributed to the sample. This argument is obligatory
if \code{object} has weights.
}
\item{alpha}{
The error tolerance level for the confidence interval to be reported.
}
\item{var.s}{
The estimated variance of the sample measurements. The default is to take
the residual standard error from the calibration and to adjust it
using \code{ws}, if applicable. This means that \code{var.s}
overrides \code{ws}.
}
}
\value{
A list containing the predicted x value, its standard error and a
confidence interval.
}
\description{
This function predicts x values using a univariate linear model that has been
generated for the purpose of calibrating a measurement method. Prediction
intervals are given at the specified confidence level.
The calculation method was taken from Massart et al. (1997). In particular,
Equations 8.26 and 8.28 were combined in order to yield a general treatment
of inverse prediction for univariate linear models, taking into account
weights that have been used to create the linear model, and at the same
time providing the possibility to specify a precision in sample measurements
differing from the precision in standard samples used for the calibration.
This is elaborated in the package vignette.
}
\note{
The function was validated with examples 7 and 8 from Massart et al. (1997).
Note that the behaviour of inverse.predict changed with chemCal version
0.2.1. Confidence intervals for x values obtained from calibrations with
replicate measurements did not take the variation about the means into account.
Please refer to the vignette for details.}
