Description

Awesomely useful code. Some ideas for extra functionality/improvements:

  1. Be able to load reference values for standards from a spreadsheet, and compare batch standard performance to the known values i.e by Calculating percentage error, and add a line to standard plots showing the reference value.

  2. Update the comments in code to be explicit on when median versus mean is being used in calculation. And if standard deviation is sample or population.

  3. Provide an option to Calculate weighted RPD) but excluding the quartz blanks

  4. Calculate a mean and median RPD for each element for both lab and analytical duplicates

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Python code for standards, plots, RPD calculations, and summary statistics, then split the four proposals into separately scoped tasks. Done should be defined with agreed reference-value inputs, statistical conventions, duplicate handling, and tests for each requested result.
