Re: [ccp4bb] reference for true multiplicity?
We know that our scaling models do not completely describe and compensate for all systematic errors, for various reasons including radiation damage (which is hard to model). This can be seen by scaling together data collected about different axes, where typically the merging statistics between different sweeps are worse than those within a sweep. Nevertheless, we would expect that averaging the somewhat disparate data should produce a more accurate estimate of the true intensity, provided that the underlying true intensities are really the same (isomorphism): merging statistics measure precision (internal agreement) rather than accuracy. For measurement of anomalous differences, we should aim to measure the Bijvoet reflection pairs in as similar way as possible so that they are likely to have the same uncorrected systematic errors, most importantly to collect them close together in time, to minimise differences in radiation damage. However it is clearly also true that high multiplicity is extremely valuable, indeed essential for S-SAD, presumably just to average out errors, both random and systematic. Scala has an option to use matched pairs for estimation of anomalous differences (ANOMALOUS MATCH) but all the tests I've done using this option gave worse results than just merging everything. For this reason I haven't implemented the option in Aimless. Phil On 14 May 2013, at 12:07, Frank von Delft frank.vonde...@sgc.ox.ac.uk wrote: It's not about multiplicity, it's about scaling.

Re: [ccp4bb] reference for true multiplicity?
Precision does not trump accuracy is something Michael Blum told me. Also Charles Wheelan wrote in his recently published Naked Statistics: “But no amount of precision can make up for inaccuracy.” I myself have been pleasantly surprised at how low multiplicity can be nowadays and still do S-SAD phasing. And If one uses iodide, the quality of diffraction data does not need to be as high as with sulfur-SAD phasing. Does one need to collect about different rotation axes? Not always. I wonder now if it would even hide a signal. Does one need multiplicity of more than 6 to 8? Not always. Be careful about radiation damage with increasing multiplicity and exposure. Does one need to minimize radation damage? I definitely think so. Does one need ot make sure the cryostream is not moving or vibrating your sample? Definitely yes. Does one need enough counting statistics to tease out the signal? Yes, but this depends on the expected signal. And so on. I can provide datasets of images if anyone likes. Jim

Re: [ccp4bb] Fwd: Re: [ccp4bb] reference for true multiplicity?
Yes, a good summary. The use of the term redundancy (real or otherwise!) in crystallography is potentially misleading as the normal usages means superfluous/ surplus to requirements. The closest usage I can find from elsewhere is in information theory where it is applied for purposes of error detection when communicating over a noisy channel. Seems similar to the crystallographic use. The more relevant point is what sort of errors would be mitigated by having different paths through the crystal. The obvious ones are absorption errors and errors in detector calibration. Inverse beam methods can mitigate these by ensuring the systematic errors are similar for the reflections being compared. However, my interpretation of the Acta D59 paper is that it is accepted that systematic errors are present and, by making multiple measurements under different conditions, the effect of these systematic errors will be minimised. Can anyone suggest other sources of error which would be mitigated by having different paths through the crystal. I don't think radiation damage (mentioned by several people) is one.
