Thank you Tim and Pavel.

Sorry, just to follow up:

For the example I gave R /Rfree difference seems high. Can this still be down to statistical fluctuations?

I am just trying to get a feel when we can simply put it down to statistical fluctuations and when its a concern.

Dear George,

you may also want to take into account that the variation of Rfree is
estimated as Rfree^2/k, where k is the number of reflections in the
shell. If you only have e.g. 100 reflections there, this might simply a
statistical fluctuation, as far as I understand.

Cheers,
Tim
