analytical function

A function which relates the measured value C ^ a to the instrument reading, X, with the value of all interferants, C i, remaining constant. This function is expressed by the following regression of the calibration results.
C ^ a = f X
The analytical function is taken as equal to the inverse of the calibration function.
