Related to this, I've always wondered what CC1/2 values mean for low resolution. Not being mathematically inclined, I'm sure this is a naive question, but i'll ask anyway - what does CC1/2=100 (or 99.9) mean? Does it mean the data is as good as it gets?

Hi Boaz,

I read the K&K paper as primarily a justification for including extremely weak data 
in refinement (and of course introducing a new single statistic that can judge data 
*and* model quality comparably).  Using CC1/2 to gauge resolution seems like a good 
option, but I never got from the paper exactly how to do that.  The resolution bin 
where CC1/2=0.5 seems natural, but in my (limited) experience that gives almost the 
same answer as I/sigI=2 (see also K&K fig 3).

Hi,

I'm sure Kay will have something to say  about this but I think the idea of the K 
& K paper was to introduce new (more objective) standards for deciding on the 
resolution, so I don't see why another table is needed.

Cheers,

Subject: [ccp4bb] refining against weak data and Table I stats

Hello all,

I've followed with interest the discussions here about how we should be refining against weak 
data, e.g. data with I/sigI << 2 (perhaps using all bins that have a 
"significant" CC1/2 per Karplus and Diederichs 2012).  This all makes statistical 
sense to me, but now I am wondering how I should report data and model stats in Table I.

Here's what I've come up with: report two Table I's.  For comparability to legacy structure stats, 
report a "classic" Table I, where I call the resolution whatever bin I/sigI=2.  Use that 
as my "high res" bin, with high res bin stats reported in parentheses after global stats. 
  Then have another Table (maybe Table I* in supplementary material?) where I report stats for the 
whole dataset, including the weak data I used in refinement.  In both tables report CC1/2 and Rmeas.

This way, I don't redefine the (mostly) conventional usage of "resolution", my 
Table I can be compared to precedent, I report stats for all the data and for the model 
against all data, and I take advantage of the information in the weak data during 
refinement.

Thoughts?

Douglas
