We have seen that minimizing the likelihood penalty ml(x) enforces agreement with the data. Exact expression of ml(x) should depends on the known statistics of the noise. However, if the statistics of the noise is not known, using a least-squares penalty is more robust (Lane, 1996). In the following, and for sake of simplicity, we will assume Gaussian stationary noise ... 

Because the number of data points is low, many of the statistical techniques that are today being discussed in the literature caimot be used. While this is true for the vast majority of control work that is being done in industrial labs, where acceptability and ruggedness of an evaluation scheme are major concerns, this need not be so in R D situations or exploratory or optimization work, where statisticians could well be involved. For products going to clinical trials or the market, the liability question automatically enforces the tried-and-true sort of solution that can at least be made palatable to lawyers on account of the reams of precedents, even if they do not understand the math involved. 

As modern one- or two-dimensional detectors are used, every pixel of the detector is enforcedly receiving the same exposure (time). Only by means of an old-fashioned zero-dimensional detector the scattering curve can be scanned in such a manner that every pixel receives the same number of counts with the consequence that the statistical noise is constant at least in a linear plot of the SAXS curve. The cost of this procedure is a recording time of one day per scattering curve.

As stated above, simple catenanes were first obtained by a statistical approach. However, the successful syntheses of more complicated topological molecules would not have been possible without an enforcement of spatial orientation of reaction substrates called preorganization, introduced in Section 2.3. The latter effect can be achieved by...
