Estimating the detection limit using a probit fit
Fit a probit regression model to estimate the limit of detection.
Select a cell in the dataset.
On the
Analyse-it
ribbon tab,
in the
Statistical Analyses
group,
click
Fit Model
, and then click
Probit
.
The analysis task pane opens.
In the

.
On the analysis task pane, in the
Fit
panel, in the
Predict X given Probability
edit box, type
0.95
Click
