Linearity is a specification relating to the degree of conformity of an instrument's calibration graph to the least-squares-fitted straight-line behavior.

What do you mean by linearity?
Linearity is the property of a mathematical relationship (function) that can be graphically represented as a straight line. Linearity is closely related to proportionality.
What is difference between accuracy and linearity?
Linearity error is the maximum difference between the measured points and linear regression line, expressed in percentage wrt maximum value. Accuracy: The accuracy of the sensor is the maximum difference that will exist between the actual value and the indicated value at the output of the sensor.
What is linearity in calibration?
Linearity is an objective description of the relationship between a quantitative method's final answer and true analyte concentration. Calibration brings this relationship into correspondence with calibrator concentration.
How is linearity measured?
Linearity looks at the accuracy of the measurements over the full range of the device. In order to measure the linearity of a device, we must take repeated measurements of parts or samples that cover its entire range.
