EDA: EXAFS data analysis software package

Abstract The present paper describes the EXAFS data analysis software package, called EDA, originally developed by the author for IBM PC compatible computers. It consists of a set of interactive programs which allow to carry out all steps of the EXAFS data analysis procedure. There are two main differences from known packages. First, a significantly improved algorithm is used for atomic-like background removal in the EXAFS extraction procedure. Second, a model independent derivation of the radial distribution function from EXAFS, based on a maximum-entropy-like algorithm, is available.
