Key Concepts

Analytical Workflow

1. Problem definition and method selection
2. Sampling and sample preparation
3. Measurement and data acquisition
4. Data processing and analysis
5. Results interpretation and reporting
6. Quality assurance and validation

Measurement Uncertainty

# Example: Combined uncertainty calculation
import numpy as np

def combined_uncertainty(uncertainty_a, uncertainty_b):
    """Calculate combined standard uncertainty."""
    return np.sqrt(uncertainty_a**2 + uncertainty_b**2)

def relative_uncertainty(value, uncertainty):
    """Calculate relative uncertainty."""
    return (uncertainty / abs(value)) * 100

Statistical Analysis

• Mean, median, mode: Central tendency
• Standard deviation, variance: Dispersion
• Confidence intervals: Precision estimation
• t-tests, ANOVA: Hypothesis testing
• Regression analysis: Correlation and prediction
• Detection limits: LOD, LOQ determination
