RE: Mean vs. Median to reduce bias in grainy intensities (was Re: Level of Preferred Orientation)

Guys, This appeared in a Rietveld e-mail a bit ago needs a comment: While I can understand the general rationale for the idea (minimize the weight of the very strong reflections to the final integrated intensity for the reflection) The fact of the matter is that most least squares programs

with spherical harmonics to account for small discrepancies in some of the peaks (to give an idea - the Rwp decreased only 1% on correction - if the numbers mean anything). Is it possible to estimate the level of preferred orientation, if one uses a spherical harmonics correction? (I know preferred

Dear Bhuv pattern and I have corrected possible graininess with spherical [...] The data I have collected is on a image plate (only one frame). Not sure I understand? If you have a 2D image showing powder rings then you should have some very good ideas about the level of granularity or texture

Not sure I understand? If you have a 2D image showing powder rings then you should have some very good ideas about the level of granularity or texture in the sample. Just look for the variation in intensity versus azimuth? Did you mean a one dimensional image plate? One way to reduce
