Hi all,

I am trying to get some insight in the accuracy/precision of occupancy refinements.  I have done some 2-state occupancy refinements and have observed the refinement achieving ~0.25-0.3 occupancy for the minor population.  This population, when observing the electron density maps, had essentially no evidence for it being present.  I was wondering:

What are the errors in the reported occupancies?

Is there a lower and upper limit to occupancy refinements?  As in, if you occupancy refine two states and one is imaginary will it refine to approximately 1 and 0?  Or does the background noise always given a positive number to the imaginary set?  This would, to me at least, be the lower and upper limits to the occupancy refinements and could be used as a normalization factor for other atoms.  Maybe my logic is off...

Any insight or literature would be appreciated!
Matt
