Kalman: the Kalman-Excel program combined with spectrophotometry method; Fexp: the experimental variance of the corresponding method; F (0.05; 2; 2): F distribution at alpha 0.05 and the respective degrees of freedom of numerator and denominator; Sp: pooled variance; texp: experimental t value; t(0.05; f = 4): t value at alpha 0.05 and 4 degrees of freedom.
