Yup, there is that. It doesn't help make the decision, though, of how much to include. And the other problem is it requires higher redundancy than I usually have when living on the edge of completeness vs death. (It's not multiplicity-weighted, is it?) (It's other problem is that it is hid

Hi Frank, maybe this is an opportunity to state that there is indeed a way to assess radiation damage by looking at an R-factor plot, but that R-factor is R_d [1], not R_pim. The formula and some explanation is in the CCP4 wiki at http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/R

There are useful plots from scala showing various measures v frame number. I usually look at those and do some hand waving to decide where the increasing R_xs indicate you are measuring nothing, or measuring something different from the first frames because of radiation damage Eleanor Frank

Hi Frank, of course R_pim is just one number and it may not be discriminatory enough to decide when to stop including images. But I can say from my own experience that R_pim will not drop forever. I have seen data sets with R_pim values of 0.5% to 2.0 A or better resolution, but never R_pim values

Yes of course; but the photons don't care what axis is being rotated about, they kill just as rapidly. phx. George M. Sheldrick wrote: When discussing this issue, perhaps we should not lose sight of the fact that the statistics behind Rp.i.m. assume 'independent observations'. Surely doing m

Hi Manfred thanks a lot for your comments, since they raise some interesting points. R_pim should give the precision of the averaged measurement, hence the name. It will decrease with increasing data redundancy, obviously. The decrease will be proportional to the square root of the redundancy

Hi Manfred I've been using and thinking Rmeas ever since I first saw it; but (embarrassingly) I've only just woken up to Rpim -- so thanks for the prompt. So I trawled the original references (Weiss and Hilgenfeld, 1997) to find out why it has the form it does, but I must have skimmed too qui

Dear Deb, R_meas or R_rim is a merging R-factor which is independent of the redundancy or multiplicity of the data (hence its name), R_pim stands for precision indicating merging R-factor. R_pim gives you the precision of the averaged measurement, which is the one you are actually using for struct
