Methods are developed to establish the limits of statistical uncertainty for values computed from a pair distribution function (PDF) or models fit to a PDF. This is done by computation of a variance-covariance matrix for the PDF from the uncertainties in the diffraction intensities. The application of this variance-covariance matrix also offers optimal weighting for least-squares refinement.
已开发出一些方法来确定从对分布函数(PDF)计算得到的值或拟合到PDF的模型的统计不确定性极限。这是通过根据衍射强度的不确定性计算PDF的方差 - 协方差矩阵来实现的。该方差 - 协方差矩阵的应用还为最小二乘精修提供了最佳加权。
