SAD phasing of XFEL data depends critically on the error model

SAD phasing of XFEL data is shown to require accurate error estimates from the merged reflection intensities. Various methods of treating the errors are presented, including a best-practice approach that refines error-correction terms using a nonlinear least-squares method.
