Design of nonlinear univariate calibration with application to immunoassay

Forkman, Johannes

Abstract

A method is proposed for designing nonlinear univariate calibration of measuring instruments. The problem addressed is how to select a set of design points (standards or calibrators) in order to minimize the errors in the inverse predictions. The method utilizes knowledge not only about the expected values of the curve parameters, but also about the covariance matrix. A design criterion is suggested for analytical procedures, according to which the coefficient of variation and the area under the precision profile are minimized
