    If one is interested in “structural parameters” the number of independent

    observations is notthe number of points in the patternN.

    What is the number of “independent” observations?(No rigorous answer …)

    Points to be considered:

    •Signal-to-noise ratio, statistics.

    •Number of independent Bragg reflections: NB

    •Number of structural free parameters: NI = N

    f

    •Degree of reflection overlap: resolution versus separation

    between consecutive reflections.

    •Effective number of observations (resolution weighted): N

    eff

    •“Solvability” index: ratio between the effective number of

    observations and the number of structural parameters: r = N

    (1)For complex structures high statistical accuracy and high resolution

    is requiredfor getting the true parameter values even is the refined

    model is unbiased. Suggestion: the solvability index (r = Neff/Nffor

    p=1/2) should be largely greater than 4-5to be sure that the structural

    parameters are accurate enough. More experience is needed to

    establish precise rules.

    (2)The absolute value of the profile R-factors has little significance

    because their values depend on the quality of the data as well as on the

    goodness the structural model. The R-factors obtained by a Le Bail fit

    provide the “expected” values for the best structural model.

    (3)Well behaved peak shape could be more important than resolution

    in some cases.
