When Bayesian statistical methods are used to specify the characteristic limits, one usually obtains an implicit equation for the calculation of the detection limit. scratch

This implicit equation can be solved by iteration. Idea The iteration can be automatically executed using Microsoft® Excel. But first, the iteration option has to be switched on.


English version

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Calculation tab.
  2. Select the Iteration check box.
  3. To set the maximum number of times Microsoft® Excel will recalculate, type the number of iterations in the Maximum iterations box. The higher the number of iterations, the more time Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.
  4. To set the maximum amount of change you will accept between calculation results, type the amount in the Maximum change box. The smaller the number, the more accurate the result and the more time Excel needs to calculate a worksheet.1.

French version

  1. Dans le menu Outils, cliquez sur Options, puis sur l'onglet Calcul.
  2. Activez la case à cocher Itération.
  3. Pour définir le nombre maximal de fois où Microsoft® Excel recalcule, tapez le nombre d'itérations dans la zone Nb maximal d'itérations. Plus le nombre d'itérations est élevé, plus le temps nécessaire au calcul d'une feuille est important.
  4. Pour définir l'écart maximal entre les résultats du calcul, tapez le chiffre dans la zone Écart maximal. Plus la valeur est petite, plus le résultat est précis et plus le temps nécessaire au calcul d'une feuille est important.

German version

  1. Klicken Sie im Menü Extras auf Optionen und dann auf die Registerkarte Berechnung.
  2. Aktivieren Sie das Kontrollkästchen Iteration.
  3. Geben Sie im Feld Maximale Iterationszahl an, wie viele Iterationsschritte Microsoft® Excel maximal durchführen soll. Je höher die Zahl der Iterationsschritte ist, desto länger dauert die Berechnung des Arbeitsblattes.
  4. Geben Sie im Feld Maximale Änderung an, um welchen Betrag sich die Ergebnisse zweier aufeinander folgender Berechnungen höchstens unterscheiden dürfen. Je kleiner die Zahl ist, desto genauer wird das Ergebnis und desto länger dauert die Berechnung des Arbeitsblattes.

Now, we can lay out an Excel table for above example.
We start with entering the input data.
Column A: Sample name
Column B: Calibration factor phi
Column C: Uncertainty of phi
Column D: Count rate
Column E: Background count rate
Column F: Measuring time
Column G: Background measuring time

Column H: Mathematical model of the evaluation
Code:
H2=B2*(D2-E2)

Column I: Uncertainty
Code:
I2=B2*SQRT(C2^2/B2^2*(D2-E2)^2+D2/F2+E2/G2)
I2=B2*RACINE(C2^2/B2^2*(D2-E2)^2+D2/F2+E2/G2)
I2=B2*WURZEL(C2^2/B2^2*(D2-E2)^2+D2/F2+E2/G2)

Column J: Decision threshold
Code:
J2=1.645*B2*SQRT(E2*(1/F2+1/G2))
J2=1.645*B2*RACINE(E2*(1/F2+1/G2))
J2=1.645*B2*WURZEL(E2*(1/F2+1/G2))

Here comes the tricky part:
Column K: Detection limit
Code:
K2=J2+1.645*B2*SQRT(C2^2/B2^4*K2^2+(K2/B2+E2)/F2+E2/G2)
K2=J2+1.645*B2*RACINE(C2^2/B2^4*K2^2+(K2/B2+E2)/F2+E2/G2)
K2=J2+1.645*B2*WURZEL(C2^2/B2^4*K2^2+(K2/B2+E2)/F2+E2/G2)
Exclamation Note that cell K2 contains two references to K2!

Column L: Critical test
Code:
L2=H2>J2

Finally, the table should look like this:
