  This paper updates and complements a previously published evaluation of
computational methods for total and partial cross sections, relevant to
modeling the photoelectric effect in Monte Carlo particle transport. It
examines calculation methods that have become available since the publication
of the previous paper, some of which claim improvements over previous
calculations; it tests them with statistical methods against the same sample of
experimental data collected for the previous evaluation. No statistically
significant improvements are observed with respect to the calculation method
identified in the previous paper as the state of the art for the intended
purpose, encoded in the EPDL97 data library. Some of the more recent
computational methods exhibit significantly lower capability to reproduce
experimental measurements than the existing alternatives.
