| 概 要 |
The interpretation of small and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) data from biomolecular samples has remained challenging for multiple reasons. First, SWAXS curves contain only few independent data points, whereas biomolecules contain many more degrees freedom. Second, since scattering contributions from the solvent (hydration layer and excluded solvent) contribute to the signals, such contributions are frequently fitted against the experimental data, thus further reducing the available experimental information. Third, no procedure has been designed that provides statistically founded confidence intervals for the models fitted against the experimental data. These factors lead to a significant risk of overfitting and, hence, of drawing unfounded conclusions.
