Hi All There has been much discussion of this at the recent Q2XAFS meeting. Proceedings are I believe being reviewed at the moment. From I think some consensus of those attending, the most critical and most portable data was [mu/rho] versus E, with uncertainties; or mu versus E. Secondary data

Dear Jason Good topic We have published a few papers discussing analysis with thickness distributions and roughness. Normally the XERT method will address this especially for small samples. Particularly see J. L. Glover, C. T. Chantler, M. D. de Jonge, ‘Nano-roughness in gold revealed from

Topic 1: We have a routine /edit within ifeffit (our modified version) which propagates and fits uncertainty. Working on a couple of minor details before passing it on to Matt and Bruce for general use. Topic 3: Monochromator glitches should be eliminated in absorption spectra under normal

You really need to know the number of actual data points, which must come from the actual data. You should also know the experimental uncertainties of each point. Most standard procedures map the actual data to a uniform grid, sometimes with smoothing of the original data. Then the

Note that in general any and every smoothing operation reduces the information content of the data and its ability to reveal structure. Also, many of the smoothing algorithms change the data point values at vertices, so change the data prior to analysis. Hence in general avoid unless you know
