I was confused because it seemed like CC1/2 wasn't very informative at lower resolution since (in my datasets) they were all 99.9-100. So if i've understood this correctly (and i'm honestly not sure that i have) could CC1/2 be useful to show the quality of low resolution data, given more precision?

The difference between one and the correlation coefficient is a square
function of differences between the datapoints. So rather large 6%
relative error with 8-fold data multiplicity (redundancy) can lead to
CC1/2 values about 99.9%.
It is just the nature of correlation coefficients.

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.

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
