Hi Joe,
the main motivation to implement F&W based conversion of Iobs to Fobs
was the community driven suggestion that this is a better way of
converting Iobs to Fobs, compared to simple
if(Iobs >= 0):
Fobs = sqrt(Iobs)
else:
Fobs = 0
that phenix.refine uses.
I'm not aware of any systematic and conclusive study demonstrating that
one way is better or worse than the other one. Since now we have both
options available in PHENIX this opens a good opportunity (for whoever
who has enough of enthusiasm and time) to study this some more within
one software framework.
Some good discussion on related subjects can be found here:
"Structure refinement: some background theory and practical strategies".
