The structure of decagonal Al-Ni-Co, superstructure type I (so called Edagawa phase) was refined in the physical space. A statistical approach was used to calculate the structure factor based on the rhombic Penrose This tiling, with tile edge length 12.1 Å, as reference frame. A total number of 691 parameters was refined against 6843 structure amplitudes, merged in Laue group 10/m.
