Confidence and Prediction Bands in Linear and Nonlinear Chemometric Regression Models
(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Christian Romero Prieto; Leonardo Guzmán Alegría
Confidence bands are used to estimate the likely range of the true parameter, whereas prediction bands provide an idea of the possible values of the parameter after applying a regression model. This study proposes an equation to construct confidence and prediction bands applicable to any linear or nonlinear chemometric regression model; that is, statistical methods used in analytical chemistry to establish relationships between two or more variables. The proposed equation is developed and presented as a useful tool to represent the uncertainty in estimates based on a set of data in chemical measurements. Once the set of data is adjusted as a regression model (linear, polynomial, or multivariable), the proposed equation can be used to construct confidence and prediction bands based on the adjustment equation. The proposed equation operates if the adjustment equation is continuous and derivable. The plot bands on any regression model provide a solid understanding of uncertainty assessment and have the advantage of total control and independence of algorithms and numeral approximations.
