Absrobance spectrophotometry 400nm

1) When doing linear regression analysis on the any data, why does it make sense to "force" the fit through the origin?

2) Exacly what would be a physical explanation for non-zero intercept?

Answer #1

1.while doing linear regression analysis on any data, we fit the line so that the line pass through the origin. We do this by considering the fact that the random errors in the measurement of the standards are small and negligible.

2. The physical significance of a non-zero intercept is there is no interferance, noise, contamination and interactions etc. so that the deviations are very less(<5%) making the graph linear.
