Fitting Models to Data: Residual Analysis, a Primer

Abstract: Since all models are wrong the scientist cannot obtain a "correct" one by excessive elaboration. On the contrary following William of Occam he should seek an economical description of natural phenomena. Just as the ability to devise simple but evocative models is the signature of the great scientist so overelaboration and overparameterization is often the mark of mediocrity".

“…Three parts were considered: the requirements that the residues must have a normal distribution and, in considering the normal distribution of the residuals, the normal probability plot and the histogram were further considered. The final test of the residuals of the trial versus the prediction value (versus fits) was considered to be the residual from the trial order (versus order) [18,19].…”

“…Ignoring the fact that nonconstant variance might result in suboptimal calibration and invalid uncertainty estimates [ 41 , 42 ], instead, weighted least square (WLS) could be used as it may not be reasonable to assume that every calibration concentration should be treated equally. One disadvantage of using WLS is the weighting is often unknown, but an appropriate weighting factor ( ) for WLS may well be the reciprocal of the variance ( ) for each calibration concentration.…”

“…The data distribution for a study of the signal (μA) that is detected by an immunoassay ( [26], Ex.1) is shown in Figure 11. [24]. However, this equation cannot be used for the blank test (x = 0).…”

“…A partial F-test is used to select the order of the polynomial equation. Martin et al used residual analysis to verify the fitting-agreement for calibration equations and a constant variance [24]. Several studies involve nonlinear calibration curves but polynomial equations are only used to represent the data distribution [25].…”
