* R/R<sub>free</sub> and NCS: reflections in work and test set are not independent if chosen randomly. It is better to choose the test set reflections in thin resolution shells. Since the twin related reflections have the same sin(theta)/lambda values they will not be split over the working and reference sets.

Since the twin related reflections have the same sin(theta)/lambda values they will not be split over the working and reference sets. [http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/dataman_man.html DATAMAN] from the [http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/ Uppsala Software Factory] and [[XPREP]] (a program which may be obtained from Bruker) offer this option. A disadvantage is the the maps may not be quite as good as when the free R reflections are selected randomaly. (FIXME: which [[Phenix]] program does this?). A paper investigating this thoroughly is Fabiola, F., A. Korostelev, et al. (2006). "Bias in cross-validated free R factors: mitigation of the effects of non-crystallographic symmetry." Acta Cryst.

* Sets of reflections used for calculating R<sub>free</sub> should be maintained throughout a project.
