Generate a calibration for a specific variable based on one or multiple calibration models. Requires properly nested and grouped data, see iso_prepare_for_calibration for details. Note that to calibrate different variables, separate calls to this function should be issued each with different calibration
names.
iso_generate_calibration( dt, model, calibration = "", use_in_calib = default(is_std_peak), min_n_datapoints = 2, is_std_peak = default(is_std_peak), is_standard = default(is_std_peak), quiet = default(quiet) )

model | a single regression model (usually lm or glm) or a list of multiple alternative regression models for the calibration. If a named list is provided, the name(s) will be used instead of the formulas for the model identification column. If multiple models are provided, the entire data table rows will be duplicated to consider the different models in parallel. Note that loess models are supported but discouraged (and will cause a warning) because local polynomial regression fitting does not calibrate based on a hypothesized regression model and can easily mis-calibrate sparse data. The exception is for non-linear temporal drift corrections (use |

the data table with the following columns added (prefixed by the calibration
parameter if provided):
calib
: the name of the calibration if provided in the model
parameter, otherwise the formula
calib_ok
: a TRUE/FALSE column indicating whether there was enough data for calibration to be generated
calib_points
: an integer column indicating the total number of data points used in the calibration. Note that this field counts replicate data points: multiple data points that fall at the exact same x or y-value still count as individual data points for this metric.
calib_params
: a nested dataframe that holds the actual regression model fit, coefficients, summary and data range. These parameters are most easily accessed using the functions iso_unnest_calibration_coefs
, iso_unnest_calibration_summary
, iso_unnest_calibration_parameters
, iso_unnest_calibration_range
, or directly via unnest
resid
within all_data
: a new column within the nested all_data
that holds the residuals for all standards used in the regression model
