One of my big questions is what to do when INAA returns back below detection limit values. These values look like negative values within my dataset. It appears that I have three options when I encounter samples with below concentration values.
Do I:
- Throw away the element in question for all samples (if several samples have below concentration values for Sc for example, then just don't include Sc in my analysis).
- Set the below detection limits results to 0, and the rest of the values to 1 for a given element.
- Set the below detection limits results to 0, and don't touch the other values for a given element.
