Dear Ed, Thankyou for this. Indeed I have not pushed into the domain of I/sigI as low as 0.4 or CC1/2 as low as 0.012. So, I do not have an answer to your query at these extremes. But I concede I am duly corrected by your example and indeed my email did not tabulate specifically how far one

Dear Andrea, I agree with Tim and still cut the resolution at I/sigma=2. In my experience, including higher resolution shells with poorer signal-to-noise never changed the apparent resolution of the electron density maps. In addition, the high resolution limit at I/sigma=2 coincides very

Dear Andrea, Checking the quality of electron density maps has been correctly mentioned as one adds more data. In chemical crystallography one can monitor the bond distance and angles sigmas ie until adding more data at ever higher resolution causes them to deteriorate in quality. The equivalent

Hello group, I have some rather (embarrassingly) basic questions to ask. Mainly.. when deciding the resolution limit, which statistics are the most important? I have always been taught that the highest resolution bin should be chosen with I/sig no less than 2.0, Rmerg no less than 40%, and

Tim, my personal preference always was I/sigI=1. In my Scalepack days, I always noticed that ~30% of the reflections in the I/sigI=1 shells had I/sigI2, and formed an unverified belief that there should be some information there. In my experience, CC1/2=0.5 would normally yield I/sigI~1, not 2.
