eehhmmm, more than slightly OT, yesssss, definitely

❝ Note that equally spaced calibrators are mandatory in most accredited methods in environmental analysis.


A completely different piece of cake, normally. They have not such a high calibration range (using dilution) and they (often) have a certain "point of interest", i.e. the limits given in certain guidelines.

❝ The exponentially increasing spacing of calibrators likely goes back to the dark ages where weighted regression was not available (pocket calculator, Excel?)


You can "teach" weighted linear regression to Excel. OK, not nowadays, but... ;-)

❝ Ahem. What to you mean by nonsense – apart from the word “terminal”?


I don't like this parameter, it's often used/compared in senseless ways. Clearance, volume, f is closer to the clinical reality. But doctors (and many others) can handle "times" (hours), but not "liters per hour" (but AUC divided by dose they find highly intuitive, which is 1/clearance ... :-D )

Kindest regards, nobody
