Least squares & Rietveld FOMs Goodness of fit
Rietveld Best data possible Best models possible Vary appropriate parameters singly or in groups
Rietveld Best data possible Best models possible Vary appropriate parameters singly or in groups Watch correlation matrix – adjust as necessary Watch parameter shifts – getting smaller? Watch parameter standard deviations – compare to shifts
