dreamed realized

Detection Limit (DL) Legacy: Theoretical, based on RACE estimate of spectral background. New: Empirical, based on observed distribution of field blank loadings. da0010_Almdl.pdf

Error  Uncertainty Legacy: Based on quality of spectral peak, and estimates of uncertainty in analytical calibration and sample volume determination. New: Empirical, based on observed differences between collocated measurements.

We are now ready for our parade of the elements! We use all collocated data from January through Oct, in 2010 (legacy) and 2011 (new). [Jan-Jun at SAFO in both years.] The cross-plots (above left) will exclude data from MEVE and PHOE, as coarse- particle sampling errors create outliers there [shown next slide] that impede comparisons of the legacy and new XRF. MEVE and PHOE data are included in the error distributions (above right).

Grant me strength, time, and opportunity always to correct what I have acquired, always to extend its domain; for knowledge is immense and the spirit of man can extend infinitely to enrich itself daily with new requirements. Today he can discover his errors of yesterday, and tomorrow he can obtain a new light on what he thinks himself sure of today. - Maimonides ( )
