Hi, I am trying to derive a correction for the usual expression of uncertainty (s) in a predicted x value (in a chemistry context, y is the dependent (instrument response) and x the independent (concentration) variable). The usual expression of standard error for x is derived only with errors in y accounted for. Does anyone know where I can get a detailed explantion of how the usual expression for s(x) is derived?
