“…d(a,b) is a statistical term that takes into account the risks of both false-positive (a) and false-negative (b) decisions when stating the analyte is present or not in a given sample, for a given number n of degrees of freedom [60]. When n is large enough, d(a,b) can be expressed as (t a,n + t b,n ), from the corresponding t-Student distribution Alternatively, and based on the recent definition of sensitivity by Olivieri [51], given by Equation (22), the LOD for a given analyte has been defined as:…”
