Hello Juergen,

since sigma is always positive, a negative I/sigI means that the measured
intensity is negative, hence I would refer you to the truncate reference
"On the treatment of negative intensity observations" by S. French and K.
Wilson, Acta Cryst (1978) A34, 517-525.

Why exactly -3 is chosen as a cut-off I cannot say, though, but it's better than
0 as cut-off, if I am not mistaken.

Cheers, Tim
