Dear All,
I am unsure about the likelihood function nomenclature. I have seen the Sim function called the Rice function, and aIso have read the acentric conditional normalized structure factor distribution (ACNSFD) called the Rice function (the centric conditional normalized structure factor distribution consistently seems to be the Woolfson distribution). Looking at both the Sim and ACNSFD, they look like the pdf in figure 6 of Rice ( who interestingly, attributes the function to a Mr Bennett in some unpublished work. So I guess Rice made the Race). So believe that a) both the Sim distribution and the ACNSFD are A Rice function, not THE Rice function. Agreeable? b) is there a proper name for the ACNSFD or generally for the acentric conditional structure factor distribution?
