Okay, I think I understand:
<I> is the weighted average of the equivalent scaled intensities, with
1/sigma^2 as weight for each reflection.
Is there a derivation/rationale for using 1/sigma^2 as the weight? I see
that this would give more credence to better I/sigma measurements, but I do
not yet understand why this is exactly the correct weight. Why not simply
1/sigma, or 1/sigma^87?
I apologize for the basic nature of this inquiry, but I would like to
understand all of this fully. And...you can always ignore!
