Dear Eleanor, Thanks for pointing out that CCP4 FreeRflag selects the test set in the highest possible symmetry for the crystal class! I didn't know that. The following sentences (which are somewhat difficult to understand for me) in https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/freerflag.html appear to

Hi Jon, generally I agree that the accuracy of the data is inversely related to the danger of overfitting, and that selection in shells is not necessary. But if twinning is suspected, as here, and/or a choice between high and low symmetry spacegroup has to be made, one has to make sure that

2021-08-27 Thread Kay Diederichs
Hi Jeffrey, good question. Both twinning and NCS may couple reflections across free and working sets, and this should be avoided by proper selection - otherwise Rfree is biased towards Rwork. Selecting thin shells should be a good option, and can be done in SFTOOLS (or DATAMAN, or SHELXPRO).

Hi Patrick, the main point is that the values of CCwork and CCfree should be lower than those of CC*, but by as little as possible. Thus they are expected to decrease from about 0.95 at low resolution, to low values at high resolution - how low they decrease, depends on the high resolution
