Examples

m <- lm(y ~ x, data = din32645)
calplot(m)

## Prediction of x with confidence interval
prediction <- inverse.predict(m, 3500, alpha = 0.01)

# This should give 0.07434 according to test data from Dintest, which 
# was collected from Procontrol 3.1 (isomehr GmbH) in this case
round(prediction$Confidence, 5)

## Critical value:
crit <- lod(m, alpha = 0.01, beta = 0.5)

# According to DIN 32645, we should get 0.07 for the critical value
# (decision limit, "Nachweisgrenze")
round(crit$x, 2)
# and according to Dintest test data, we should get 0.0698 from
round(crit$x, 4)

## Limit of detection (smallest detectable value given alpha and beta)
# In German, the smallest detectable value is the "Erfassungsgrenze", and we
# should get 0.14 according to DIN, which we achieve by using the method 
# described in it:
lod.din <- lod(m, alpha = 0.01, beta = 0.01, method = "din")
round(lod.din$x, 2)

## Limit of quantification
# This accords to the test data coming with the test data from Dintest again, 
# except for the last digits of the value cited for Procontrol 3.1 (0.2121)
loq <- loq(m, alpha = 0.01)
round(loq$x, 4)

# A similar value is obtained using the approximation 
# LQ = 3.04 * LC (Currie 1999, p. 120)
3.04 * lod(m, alpha = 0.01, beta = 0.5)$x
