Hello all, I've followed with interest the discussions here about how we should be refining against weak data, e.g. data with I/sigI << 2 (perhaps using all bins that have a "significant" CC1/2 per Karplus and Diederichs 2012). This all makes statistical sense to me, but now I am wondering how I should report data and model stats in Table I.
Here's what I've come up with: report two Table I's. For comparability to legacy structure stats, report a "classic" Table I, where I call the resolution whatever bin I/sigI=2. Use that as my "high res" bin, with high res bin stats reported in parentheses after global stats. Then have another Table (maybe Table I* in supplementary material?) where I report stats for the whole dataset, including the weak data I used in refinement. In both tables report CC1/2 and Rmeas. This way, I don't redefine the (mostly) conventional usage of "resolution", my Table I can be compared to precedent, I report stats for all the data and for the model against all data, and I take advantage of the information in the weak data during refinement. Thoughts? Douglas ^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^`^` Douglas L.
