7 X-Ray Data Analysis with Theoretical Stockholder
Pseudoatoms
The direct-space projection technique described above not only provides an efficient
validation tool to access the bias in experimental properties but also helps design
new data-refinement strategies. A possible protocol for extracting the “left-over”
