Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is an apparatus and method for calculating confidence intervals. The method comprises activating a calculator. The user selects input data for the calculator. The calculator reformats the input data into output data. The calculator then generates a specific calibration summary using the output data. The calculator plots a linear calibration curve derived from the specific calibration summary. The calculator then plots a calibration residual value plot derived from the specific calibration summary. The calculator calculates a back-calculated unknown sample value. Lastly, the calculator calculates a confidence interval for said at least one back-calculated unknown sample value.
