Multisensor arrays employing various sensing principles are a rapidly developing field of research as they allow simple and inexpensive quantification of various parameters in complex samples. Quantitative analysis with such systems is based on multivariate regression techniques, and deriving of traditional analytical figures of merit (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation) for such systems is not obvious and straightforward. Nevertheless, it is absolutely needed for further development of the multisensor research field and for introducing these instruments into the general context of analytical chemistry. Here, we report on the protocol for calculation of sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limits for multisensor arrays. The results are provided and discussed in detail for several real-world data sets.
多传感器阵列采用各种传感原理，是一个快速发展的研究领域，因为它们允许在复杂样品中简单且廉价地定量各种参数。使用这种系统进行定量分析基于多元回归技术，并且对于这种系统，导出传统的分析质量指标（例如灵敏度、选择性、检测限和定量限）并不是显而易见和直接的。然而，对于多传感器研究领域的进一步发展以及将这些仪器引入分析化学的一般背景，这是绝对必要的。在这里，我们报告了计算多传感器阵列灵敏度、选择性和检测限的协议。为了几个实际数据集，我们详细提供并讨论了结果。
