Simple Linear Regression Applied to Quantification
A R tutorial about how to perform a simple linear regression applied to a quantification problem. 1 Problem You need to quantify the lycopene quantity of three tomato varieties. You take samples from these tomatoes and extract the compound of interest. Then you use HPLC to quantify the lycopene concentration in the extracts. You HPLC equipment just gives to you signals data as milli-absorbance units (mAU). The intensity of this signals is proportional to the concentration in the samples....
