Schematic illustration of rotation likelihood functions for acentric structure factors. (a) In the Wilson-like approximation, the distribution is assumed to be a two-dimensional Gaussian arising from the sum of molecular-transform contributions with unknown phase angles, together with random errors resulting from model incompleteness and model error. (b) In the Sim-like approximation, the contribution from the single largest molecular transform (Fbig) has an arbitrary phase and the distribution is assumed to be a two-dimensional Gaussian arising from the sum of the remaining molecular-transform contributions (Frem) with unknown phase angles relative to the phase of Fbig, together with random errors resulting from model incompleteness and model error. |
