Re: [ccp4bb] Observation:Parameter ratio

2018-02-17 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Prem, you also need to count the number of restraints as observations and constraints, which reduce the number of parameters. The number of restraints at this resolution might exceed the number of observations. If I remember correctly, the numbers are listed in the refmac5 log file and pro

Dear all, How observation is to parameter ratio is determined for a crystal structure. Suppose If we have only one observation for each parameter at a resolution of say 2.9 Angstrom, how terribly it is easy to overfitt for the data to get a misleading agreement between model and experiment ? Is the

I've seen this estimate of the determinancy point for torsion angle refinement presented by Axel Brunger at ACA meeting this summer. I don't remember all the details, but no, it did not refer to the approach described in the paper where higher resolution model is used as a restraint. It was simpl

Hi Hugh A data/parameter ratio of 0.5 does seem low even at 3.4 Ang, I would expect it closer to 1 (say 0.8 to 0.9) depending on the solvent content. Why is it low - is your completeness low? What matters from the point of view of what Rfree you should expect, all being well, is the observation/p

Dear Hugh Morgan, this ratio is only true if you refine your atomic model without any geometrical restraints against the observed X-ray data. If you include parameters for ideal geometry, you add ideal bond lengths, angles, chiral volumes, planar groups and dihedral angles as additional "

Hi,     We are attempting to address a referees comment concerning our data/parameter ratio for a 3.4 A structure. Although the ratio is only 0.5, the R/Rfree is 25/29, which seems acceptable. Ideally I would like to include a reference showing a graph or table of data:parameter vs resolution b
