cns - reflections rejected

                                   Hi Joao,

        The problem may come from your reflection file. For instance, when
you convert a .sca (obtained using Scalepack) containing intensities into a
.hkl using to_cns, you get Is and Fs with Fobs=0 for reflections with
negative Iobs. I guess these reflections are rejected even with a sigma
cutoff of zero. Try to apply rejection criteria to intensities as in the
following example:

{* reciprocal space array containing observed intensities: optional *}
{* required for the "mli" target *}
{===>} obs_i="iobs";

{* reciprocal space array containing sigma values for intensities: optional *}
{* required for the "mli" target *}
{===>} obs_sigi="sigi";

...

{* apply rejection criteria to amplitudes or intensities *}
{+ choice: "amplitude" "intensity" +}
{===>} obs_type="intensity";

{* Observed data cutoff criteria: applied to amplitudes or intensities *}
{* reflections with magnitude(Obs)/sigma < cutoff are rejected. *}
{===>} sigma_cut=-3.0;


        Hope this helps,


                                                        Jean-Paul

>unobserved 2555 3.7%
>reflections rejected 5047 7.2%
>total reflections used 62126 89.1%
>working set 59034 84.7%
>test set 3092 4.4%
