[phenixbb] Discrepancy between R-factors from phenix.refine vs phenix Generate "Table 1"

[Edward A. Berry]

Comparing below, i'm confused about the ability of the "L" test to distinguish twinning from underestimated symmetry.
And is the Wilson Ratio test an intensity moments test?

For acentric reflections this is 2.0 for untwinned and 1.5 for perfect twin.   This can of course be complicated by pseudo-centering.  Aside from that issue, it is a really good indicator.

So you need to use a test based on intensity distributions independent of twin laws (like the intensity moments or the L test) to decide if your crystal is twinned, then if it is twinned you will get a better idea of the twin fraction from tests comparing the twin-related reflections.
