Abstract: Abstract The best way to formulate the problem of calibration is to consider a typical example. Suppose that we are interested in measuring glucose concentration in mg/dl in certain substances. For this purpose, a spectrophotometric method is used. Without going into detail, let us note that the response of the measurement device y is the so-called absorbance, which depends on the concentration x. So, the measurement instrument provides us with a value y, the response, when the substance has glucose concentration x. One might say that each measurement instrument is characterized by its own relationship between x and y.
