Statistics of derived intensities

Abstract: The variance of diffractometer-collected diffraction intensities is discussed in terms of instrumental instability and uncertainties in the parameter used to bring the intensities to a common scale. It is shown that the inconsistent and]or divergent behavior of the reflections used as standards contributes in a major way to the uncertainty in the scaling parameter and can often account for the largest portion of the variance in excess of the Poisson contribution for reflections with large intensities.

“…Intensity data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects, the scale variation and for absorption (Gaussian integration [11]). The variance a2(I) was calculated on the basis of counting statistics plus the term (pi)2, where P is the instability constant [12] as derived from the excess variance in the reference reflections. Inspection of the data sets showed the Laue symmetry to be 6/mmm; the 00 l reflections with l odd are systematically extinct, which indicates the space group to be P6322.…”

“…Intensities were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects, not for absorption. Variance o2(1) was calculated based on counting statistics plus a term (pl)2 where P(=0.013) is the instability constant (McCandlish, Stout & Andrews, 1975). The structure was solved by direct methods using MULTAN80 (Main, Fiske, Hull, Lessinger, Germain, Declercq & Woolfson, 1980) and refined on …”

“…The intensity data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects and scale variation, but an absorption correction was judged not to be necessary in view of the small observed variation in intensity of a 360 o ~b scan of a close-to-axial reflection (202). The variance tr 2 (/) was calculated on the basis of counting statistics plus the term (P1) 2, where P (--0.021) is the instability constant as derived from the excess variance in the reference reflections (McCandlish, Stout & Andrews, 1975). Equivalent reflections were averaged and stated observed if satisfying the criterion I > 2.5cr(/).…”
