  1. aData of the straight line plotted between predicted concentrations of each component versus actual concentrations of the calibration set
  2. bRoot mean square error of calibration
  3. cRoot mean square error of prediction
  4. dLOD and LOQ were calculated from the standard deviation (s) of the response and the slope of the calibration curve (S) according to the following equations: LOD = 3.3(s/S) and LOQ = 10(s/S)
