Oxford University Press Introduction To Crystallographic Statistics Vol-6 1996 Edition by Uri Shmueli, George H. Weiss
Modern structural applications of crystallography make extensive use of statistical methods, in particular the probability density function (pdf) of the magnitude of the structure factor. Similarly, direct methods of phase determination have been responsible for much of the success of crystallography - methods based on properties of joint pdfs. This monograph, from two authorities in the field of structure factor statics, presents a survey of techniques and theoriesin this field of research in a self-contained and consistent way, with an emphasis on the probabilistic principles involved.
