I have a few soil samples, I did spectroscopy these samples, I want to divide for the modeling into two sets of validation and calibration. What is the best way to select the validation and calibration data set?
By means of spectroscopic methods there is unable to obtain reliable quantification.
There sould be used methods of mass spectrometry. Currently, these methods provide the most reliable even 'exact' quantitative information. 'Exact quantification' can be carried out only within the framework of our own-authored (mine and my co-author's theory according to the authorship shown in the references, below) stochastic dynamic theory and model equations for data-processing of mass spectrometric measurable variables.
Please, consider detail on references [1,2].

What there is understood under ''exact quantification'' can be found, herein [A].
To sum up: The standard deviation (or the uncertainty) of the measured mean values of the analytes should be equal to ''zero.'' Currently, such superior method performances can be achieved, only, by mass spectrometry; furthermore, using our theory and model formulas mentioned before.
