A multisolution method of phase determination by combined maximization of entropy and likelihood. VI: Automatic likelihood analysis via the student t test, with an application to the powder structure of magnesium boron nitride, Mg3BN3

The multisolution method to solve powder structures ab initio from their X-ray diffraction data developed by Bricogne and Gilmore [Bricogne (1991). Acta Cryst. A47, 803-829; Gilmore, Henderson & Bricogne (1991). Acta Cryst. A47, 830-841] has been further tested by redetermination of the structure of the low-pressure phase of magnesium boron nitride, Mg 3 BN 3 , on which a previous attempt using the maximum-entropy (ME) procedure devised by Gull, Livesey & Sivia [Acta Cryst. (1987), A43, 112-117] had failed
