EDA: EXAFS data analysis software package

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.
