Probably the only phasing stat that I pay any attention to these days is the Figure of Merit (FOM). This is because, the _definition_ of FOM is that it is the cosine of the phase error (or at least your best estimate of it). FOM=1 is perfect phases and FOM=0 is random phases, and a reasonable

I like the ideal of calling SHARP 'vintage'. ;-) Indeed, it gets better by the time, but at the same time i like having a sip or two all the time, and not wait for it to really mature! Maybe Gerard can hint if major releases of SHARP are always coinciding with good years in the valley of Borde

As Tassos correctly says, the 'usual phasing statistics' are utterly irrelevant to phasing a structure with SHELXE. SHELXC/D/E adopt a minimalist approach, and input and calculate only what is needed to get a map that is good enough to interpret. For example, in order to calculate RCullis one w

Hi Tassos, my personal opinion is, that I would like to see the usual phasing statistics. At least to me, they provide hints how well the structure was determined, analogous to the R-factor/Free-R-factor providing hints how well the structure was refined. It would be good if SHELXE would pri

I fully agree, for high quality data. What though if the data are not impeccable and the structure necessarily ropey? E.g. 4A phases and anisotropic diffraction. By what metrics do we then judge the results? (I don't know the answer, btw, but our membranous colleagues surely spend quite a

Dear CCP4ers, I've been asked by a referee to provide the phasing statistics for a SAD dataset that I used to solve a recent structure. Whilst I have been able to find a figure-of-merit for the data after phasing, I can't work out how to get any other statistics (e.g. phasing power or an equiva
