Examples

Run this code
  # Create an object of class "calibrate", then print it out.

  # The data frame EPA.97.cadmium.111.df contains calibration data for 
  # cadmium at mass 111 (ng/L) that appeared in Gibbons et al. (1997b) 
  # and were provided to them by the U.S. EPA. 

  calibrate.list <- calibrate(Cadmium ~ Spike, data = EPA.97.cadmium.111.df) 
 
  names(calibrate.list)
