Accuracy |
The degree of closeness of a measurement of a quantity to that quantity's true value. |
| methodDetectionLimit |
Method detection limit |
The minimum concentration of a substance that can be distinguished from the absence of that substance within a stated confidence limit (generally 1%) given a particular analytical method. |
| physicalLimitLowerBound |
Physical limit lower bound |
This describes a numeric value below which measured values should be considered suspect. This numeric value should be empirically derived. |
| physicalLimitUpperBound |
Physical limit upper bound |
This describes a numeric value above which measured values should be considered suspect. This numeric value should be empirically derived. |
| precision |
Precision |
The degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results. |
| reportingLevel |
Reporting level |
The smallest concentration of analyte that can be reported by laboratory. |
