Below the Method Detection Limit: Problems, Definitions, Data, and Solutions

A workshop was held to address the analysis of data sets containing values below the method detection limit, common in activities like chemical analysis of air and water quality or assessing contaminants in plants and animals. Despite the value of this data, it's often ignored or mishandled. The workshop, led by statistician Carolyn Huston, focused on using the R software for statistical analysis in such cases. The workshop attracted participants from various organizations and received positive feedback. The goal was to equip attendees with tools to enhance data analysis and decision-making, recognizing that statistics is a way of tackling uncertainty.
