Holes in the diffraction pattern, to make it simple, means holes in the electron density maps. So the resulting
electron density maps will be more noisy than electron density maps computed with complete data sets.
It is possible to replace the missing amplitudes by non-random estimates during density modification (solvent
"flattening" or NCS averaging).
