Combining of reference measurement collections (RMCs) of at least three reference measurement systems into a weighted reference measurement collection (wRMC) is disclosed. Each RMC includes a plurality of corresponding sample measurements, each of which has a measurement value of the same sample. The invention plots corresponding measurement values to generate a plurality of data pairs for each possible RMC pairing. A best-fit line of the plurality of data pairs for each RMC pairing is then generated, and a residual for each data pair is calculated. A weight is then assigned to each sample measurement for each RMC based on the residuals associated with a respective RMC to which the sample measurement belongs, favoring a smaller residual more than a larger residual. A weighted reference measurement is then generated based on the weights, and the measurement value for the respective sample measurement for each RMC.
