Due to the growing need to understand statistics for analytical chemistry, David
Coleman and Lynn Vanatta felt strongly that their writings should be available in
a forum that is easily accessible to chemists. They thought American Laboratory
would be the perfect home, and our editorial staff agreed.
To date, the series has focused on the broad subject of regression, specifically
calibration and recovery curves. Each article can be printed, saved as a PDF, emailed, or shared
using the article tools found at the top right of each article. Printing and PDF instructions can be found here.
These columns appear approximately every other month and involve audience participation.
Comments, questions, and suggestions are always welcome! Contact us at: statistics@americanlaboratory.com.
To receive each article in your mail box or "in" box as they are published, we invite
you to
subscribe to American Laboratory, or download our iPad App.
In analytical chemistry, simple linear regression is often used to perform calibration or recovery activities.
