Juliana,

I think if you compare otherwise equivalent refinement runs in phenix.refine 
with
refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=True   (the default)
and
refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=False
then this will tell you if there's any meaningful difference in the refinement 
statistics (or map).  This doesn't mean you have to use phenix.refine on your 
structure beyond that point, just that this is likely the cleanest comparison 
that I can think of.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Large number of outliers in the dataset

Hello,
I have one dataset at 2.3 Å (probably it can be better, I/σ = 2.1 and CC1/2 = 
0.779, the summary data is below), but when I perform Xtriage analysis it says 
that “There are a large number of outliers in the data”. The space group is 
P212121. When I refine the MR solution the Rfree stops around 30% and it 
doesn´t decrease (in fact if I continue refining it starts to increase).
The Wilson plot graph is not fitting very well between 2.3 and 2.6 Å:

So I decided to cut the data at 2.6A and Xtriage analysis doesn’t notify about 
outliers anymore. I could refine the MR solution very well, the final Rwork is 
0.2427 and Rfree = 0.2730 and validation on Phenix results in a good structure.
I run Zanuda to confirm the space group and it says that the space group 
assignment seems to be correct.
Do you think that I can improve my structure and solve it at 2.3 Å or better? 
Or I can finish it with 2.6 Å? To publish at 2.6 Å I need to justify the 
resolution cut, right? What should I say?
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Juliana
