Dear TK_Dawod, there is no reason to discard data only because they are incomplete within their resolution shell. If the multiplicity is low, the statistics may not be reliable, but even so they should not be discarded. Data are often incomplete because they are collected on a square detector with too short a distance. That's in general not the best of practice, yet once the data are collected that way, don't blame the data for being incomplete! Best, Tim On 02/06/2015 08:26 PM, Tarek DawoD wrote:

Dear ALL i would like to ask in general if there is a suggested certain completeness cutoff for the higher resolution shell. for example; the following are the values for the 4 higher resolution shells Shell Lower Upper Average Average Norm. Linear Square limit Angstrom I error stat. Chi**2 R-fac R-fac Rmeas Rpim CC1/2 CC* completeness 1.53 1.50 2.5 1.2 1.2 0.706 0.680 0.596 0.855 0.510 0.547 0.841 73.6 1.50 1.47 2.3 1.1 1.0 0.745 0.742 0.629 0.967 0.613 0.468 0.798 55.3 1.47 1.44 2.0 1.0 1.0 0.725 0.775 0.644 0.000 0.694 0.395 0.752 52.4 1.44 1.41 1.9 0.8 0.8 0.689 0.946 0.681 0.000 0.883 0.371 0.736 33.9 All reflections 44.8 2.5 2.3 0.638 0.044 0.029 0.052 0.028

my question in other word if all statistics for the highest resolution shell are reasonable, good I/sigma, R-fac, ........, CC1/2, ..etc but the completeness is just say 20 or 30, what is allowable completeness limit for the highest resolution shell, 70, 80 or 90???

regardsTK_Dawod
