r2: the coefficient of determination representing the proportion of the variance of the dependent variable that is explained by an independent variable(s) in a regression model.
rmsre: root mean squared relative error.
steyx: the standard error of the estimated dependent variable y in a simple linear regression model.
LOD: limit of detection corresponding to the lowest quantity of a substance that can be differentiated from the blank sample (absence of the substance) at a given confidence level.
mErr%: the percentage error of the slope of the line of corrected fluorescence, as compared to the slope of the ideal dependence derived from Beer-Lambert law.
Calibration range: range of concentrations used for calibration (lowest-highest).
Correction range: range of concentrations applicable for correction (LOD-highest).
Parametric model (Pm): Corrected fluorescence were obtained via three parameter equation. Further details will be available pending method publication.
Black-box model (BBm) optimization: Performed by evaluation of the r2 value of a linear regression for a set of equally distributed coefficients in a chosen starting range. Distribution of coefficients within the range is defined by stepsize; larger stepsize equals rougher grid. After each cycle, the coefficient with highest r2 value was taken as a starting point for the next cycle with finer grid (smaller stepsize) and equal number of steps. Optimization was stopped if difference in r2 between two subsequent cycles is less than 10-6, or after 20 cycles.
