L. Sarabia et Mc. Ortiz, DETARCHI - A PROGRAM FOR DETECTION LIMITS WITH SPECIFIED ASSURANCE PROBABILITIES AND CHARACTERISTIC CURVES OF DETECTION, TrAC. Trends in analytical chemistry, 13(1), 1994, pp. 1-6
C.A Clayton and his collaborators [Anal. Chem., 59 (1987) 2506] establ
ished the detection limit as an hypothesis test to determine the prese
nce or absence of an analyte in a sample, with an evaluation of the pr
obability of obtaining a false negative or false positive. The program
DETARCHI implements this method and calculates the characteristic cur
ves of detection associated with the test.
