mescla.prep.qaqc.detection_limit_report(table, limits)[source]

Count values at or below the detection limit, per species.

Species with many non-detects are poor tracers: near the detection limit the error distribution is neither Gaussian nor homoscedastic, which breaks the weighting assumed by every least-squares and maximum-likelihood estimator here. Carry such species with a large sigma instead of dropping them outright.
