Hi,
I worked with crystals with 40 fold NCS and did a refinement with random picks
and in thin shells. The difference in the R-values from the respective runs
were comparable. and the dletaR was around 4.5 to 6% in both cases. So if
there is a bias due to NCS it is equally strong in both cases.
I found a paper from Fabiola et.al Acta CrystD (2006) D62 227-238 about the
effects of NCS. For me it was quite complicated to follow all the mathematical
things, but they mentioned, if I understood and rememberit correctly, that
they excluded up to 60 % of the data from the refinement to remove the model
bias. The data/parameter ratio will become a real problem I guess.
