Dear Rakesh, dear Artem, Since the initial question is not precise (which kind of comments are expected?) I may mention that the most frequent values of R, Rfree and DeltaR (that is asked about) are given in our work published in 2009 in Acta Cryst., D65, 1283-1291. Interestingly, they are practically linear functions of log(resolution). The plots show also the statistics of deviation from these lines.
