Data quality indicators

<br>where $\langle I_{hkl}\rangle$ is the average of symmetry- (or Friedel-) related observations of a unique reflection. It can be shown that this formula results in higher R-factors when the redundancy is higher. In other words, low-redundancy datasets appear better than high-redundancy ones, which obviously violates the intention of having an indicator of data quality!
* Redundancy-independant version of the above:

<br>
which unfortunately results in higher (but more realistic) numerical values than R<brsub>sym</sub> / R<sub>merge</sub>
* measuring quality of averaged intensities/amplitudes:
for intensities use
$R_{p.i.m.} (or R_{mrgd-I}) = \frac{\sum_{hkl} \sqrt \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^{n} \vert I_{hkl,j}-\langle I_{hkl}\rangle\vert}{\sum_{hkl} \sum_{j}I_{hkl,j}}$
<br>
[/itex]
<br>
with <brmath>\langle F_{hkl}\rangle[/itex] defined analogously as $\langle I_{hkl}\rangle$.
