Hello all,

This is more of a general question not specifically related to XPLOR but to
R-factors (or Qfactors) which are used to represent the quality of the fit.

In my personal observation, even a small 5% decrease in R-factors
identifies to be a significant decrease. (A R-factor of 10 is significant
improvement from a R-factor of 15%). These improvements are tough to
achieve.

But since we say its %, its difficult to justify the significance of 5%.
[which seems too small]. How does one statistically justify the
significance of such an improvement? One way is to relate the increase in
R-factor to error percent, which I can think of. Is there a work or
standard way to denote them.

I hope I am conveying the problem rightly.
Thanks and have a good day,
Santhosh
