Hi Everyone,

I'm curious, has anyone ever tried turning two analysts loose on the same 
unknown EXAFS spectrum to see if their fits come out with similar conclusions? 
If you have tried it, how did it work out? Were the conclusions indeed similar? 
If not, why not, and what did you end up doing about it?

I was talking with a colleague today about our plans for data analysis, and we 
settled on this approach (since there are two interested parties willing to try 
to fit a series of unknown EXAFS datasets).

The hope is, of course, that the two analysts will independently reach similar 
conclusions with similar fits and structural models, but to my mind that 
outcome is by no means guaranteed. Given the (presumably) wide variation in 
fitting customs and procedures, I can envision a scenario in which there are 
major differences.

This got me wondering, "Has anyone tried this?" So I thought I'd ask.


Your thoughts and experiences would be welcome. Thanks!



Mike Massey
