I see, there is no consensus about my data. Some people say 2.4A, other say all. Well, I chose 2.3 A. My rule was to be a little bit below Rmerg 100%. At 2.3A Rmerg was 98.7% Actually, I have published my paper in JMB. Yes, reviewers did not like that and even made me give Rrim and Rpim etc. Maia Bernhard Rupp (Hofkristallrat a.D.) wrote: > First of all I would ask a XDS expert for that because I don't know exactly > what stats the XDS program reports (shame on me, ok) nor what the quality of > your error model is, or what you want to use the data for (I guess > refinement - see Eleanor's response for that, and use all data). > > There is one point I'd like to make re cutoff: If one gets greedy and > collects too much noise in high resolution shells (like way below <I/sigI> = > 0.8 or so) the scaling/integration may suffer from an overabundance of > nonsense data, and here I believe it makes sense to select a higher cutoff > (like what exactly?) and reprocess the data.
