Re: [ccp4bb]: I to F's
Related to this discussion is some nice reading material from the book
of D.S. Sivia "DATA ANALYSIS A bayesian tutorial" p77-80. In this section
of the book, the problem of taking the square root of a (negative) intensity
is addressed. By using Bayes theorem and the prior knowledge that intensities
must be positive, estimates are obtained for the structure factor and sigma.
It is graphically illustrated for good reflections, poor but positive intensity
reflections and for reflections with negative intensities.
