Dear ALL



when you start you refinement in phenix with ***.sca file, fraction of reflection in test set will be created. under options (bottom) in phenix refine, you could see that fraction of reflection in test set is 0.1 which means 10 %
by looking to the PDB header for completely different structures (below) you will find different percentage but always FREE R VALUE TEST SET COUNT is around 3800. so it always take the same 3800 count regardless the number of reflections.

When you look in generated mtz file after the refinement, you see under R-free-flags(+) and R-free-flags(-)  either 0 or 1. what does 0 or 1 mean?

Thank you in advance for explanation.
