Proper application of error analysis techniques remains uncommon in most EXAFS analyses. Consequently, many researchers in the community remain distrustful of parameter-error estimates. Here, we demonstrate the accuracy of conventional methods through r-space fits to simulated data. Error estimates are determined as a function of r by averaging many scan simulations in r-space. The statistical-χ2 value can then be calculated. Since χ2 corresponds to the degrees of freedom in a fit, we check Stern's rule for the number of independent data points in an EXAFS spectra. Finally, we apply these simple methods to real data from a Cu foil, highlighting the overwhelming role of systematic errors in theoretical backscattering functions and pointing to the ultimate power of the EXAFS technique if such errors could be removed.
