Re: [Ifeffit] Reporting math expressions in scientific papers

Mauro: In a paper we just submitted, we included a consise description of the model as a footnote to the table of fit parameters. This should be sufficient. Carlo On Mon, 2 May 2005, MauRo wrote:

Hi folks,

I would like to ask you if it exist one common convention, apart the XAFS society one, to report IFEFFIT results when you have unusual math expressions.

In particular, I have used a two-phase model (two FEFF calculations) to fit my sample and for the amplitude variable I have these math expressions:

amp_feff1 = amp * x amp_feff2 = amp * y = amp * (1-x)

In this way I can estimate the global amplitude variable and introduce a "percentage" of the two chemical compounds (correlation is kept under control).

How to explain what I have done to a non-ifeffiter?
