DeltaCC12

Δcc12 is a quantity, that detects datasets/frames, that are non-isomorphous. As described in Assmann and Diederichs (2016), Δcc12 is calculated with the σ-τ method. This method is a way to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient for the special case of two sets of values (intensities) that randomly deviate from their true values, but is not influenced by a random number sequence as shown in Karplus and Diederichs (2012). For the σ-τ method CC12 is calculated for all datasets/frames, which will be called CC12_overall (?) and CC12 is calculated for all datasets/frames except for one dataset i, which is omitted from calculations and denoted as CC12_i. The difference of the two quantities is Δcc12.

[math]\displaystyle{ \Delta CC_{1/2}= CC_{1/2 overall}-CC_{1/2 i} }[/math]

If Δcc12 is > 0 -CC12overall is bigger than CC12i- that means if omitting dataset i from calculations, a lower CC12 results, which is why we want to keep it. Thus it is improving the whole merged dataset. If Δcc12 is < 0, -CC12overall is smaller than CC12i- that means that by omitting dataset i from calculations a higher CC12 results, which is why we want to exclude it from calculations, because it is impairing the whole merged dataset. CC12 is calculated by:

[math]\displaystyle{ CC_{1/2}=\frac{\sigma^2_{\tau}}{\sigma^2_{\tau}+\sigma^2_{\epsilon}} =\frac{\sigma^2_{y}- \frac{1}{2}\sigma^2_{\epsilon}}{\sigma^2_{y}+ \frac{1}{2}\sigma^2_{\epsilon}} }[/math]

This requires calculation of [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^2_{y} }[/math], the variance of the average intensities across the unique reflections of a resolution shell, and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^2_{\epsilon} }[/math], the average of all sample variances of the mean across all unique reflections of a resolution shell.

Implementation

For Implementation the different formulas are displayed:

[math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^2_{y} }[/math]

The unbiased sample variance from all averaged intensities of all unique reflections is calculated by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^2_{y} = \frac{1}{n-1} \cdot \left ( \sum^n_{i} x^2_i - \frac{\left ( \sum^n_{i}x_{i} \right )^2}{ n} \right ) }[/math]

With [math]\displaystyle{ x_{i} }[/math] , average intensity of a unique reflection i. This is done for all reflections n in a resolution shell.
