[phenixbb] using Fobs=0 (instead of "changing TLS groups")

Dear all,
sorry to interfere late and also to update the subject (that had nothing to
"TLS groups" in the last messages).
I would like also to point out an article in which in fact Pavel is one of
the co-authors :
Lunin et al (2002), Acta Cryst, A58, 270-282
and that is directly relevant to the question of using Fobs=0.
Comparison of maximum-likelihood-based and least-squares refinements and a
development of the ML-target into a Taylor series show that the
ML-refinement has two basic features :
1) it defines in a very special way the weights for some terms
2) for weak reflections, especially when the model is incomplete (that is
always the case), it suggests fitting Fcalc to 0 and not at all to the
measured Fobs.
You may look at the corresponding plots in the article.
This means that, complementarily to the French & Wilson study of
experimental data, an option to use Fobs=0 maybe not so meaningless in a
refinement program especially if by some reasons one wants to use
LS-refinement and not ML.
Best regards,
Sacha
