[ccp4bb] Rmerge of the last shell is zero

Dear All, I recently processed a dataset, in which I/sigmaI of the last shell is 2.3, while Rmerge of the last shell is 0. Does anyone know why the Rmerge is 0? The completeness is 100 (100). Thank you so much for your help in advance! Best, Yafang -- Yafang Chen Graduate Research Assistant

Dear All, Here are some more details about the question I asked earlier about Rmerge is 0 in the last shell. I processed the data using HKL2000. The space group is I213. Redundancy is 10.2 (10.3). I/sigma is 34.8 (2.3). Rmerge is 6.5 (0.0). Since I/sigmaI is more than 2 in the last shell, I

Hello Yafang, The answer lies in the fact that you used HKL2000. Scalepack has a long standing feature where it reports Rmerge 100% as zero. Quite why they do that is a mystery, but your Rmerge in the outermost shell is NOT zero - the Rmerge for the lower resolution shells will show up as

No matter what the value printed out for Rmerge in the outer shell is, I recommend using - or n/a in your paper. This is because sum(|I-I0|)/sum(I) actually is equal to n/a when sum(I) = 0. -James Holton MAD Scientist On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Pietro Roversi

2013-08-14 Thread Frank von Delft
This HKL2000 (scalepack) feature is actually extremely sensible: an Rmerge that high is mathematically meaningless, it quite literally tells you nothing at all about he signal in your data. So I second James's advice: just put n/a in your table 1. If the reviewer complains, point them to

But it is highly unlikely that sum(I) in the denominator is zero if I/sig(I) is 2 as reported (providing the sig(I) is valid- what was chi^2 in the last shell and overall?). I sort of disagree that R-merge values over 1.0 are meaningless, provided not too far over. Granted R-meas is more
