This article describes an original approach to analyze simultaneously cross sections and surrogate data measurements using efficient Monte Carlo extended $\mathcal{R}$-matrix theory algorithm based on unique set of nuclear structure parameters. The alternative analytical path based on the manifold Hauser-Feshbach equation was intensively used in this work to gauge the errors carried by the surrogate-reaction method commonly taken to predict neutron-induced cross sections from observed partial decay probabilities...
