Uncertainty, the most important characteristic of an analytical result, has been evaluated using a bottom-up approach during EDXRF determination of Pt in alumina. The calibration function of the EDXRF spectrometer was derived through bivariate least squares fitting, in combination with weighted regression of the residuals.
