25.1.6.1. BUSTER

| top | pdf |

BUSTER (Bricogne, 1997a[link],b[link]) is a program for recovering missing phase information by Bayesian inference. BUSTER has applications in maximum-likelihood refinement of partial structures in conjunction with the TNT program (Section 25.1.5.8)[link], maximum-entropy structure completion for missing or ambiguous parts of a structure, and accurate electron-density reconstruction based on high-resolution X-ray diffraction data. BUSTER is related to SHARP (Section 25.1.4.7)[link]. See Chapter 16.2[link] for more details.
