Description

The program contains several options for searching for the view using the common lines residual with varying weightings of the lines.

RSYM - Details of probability calculation

This routine has been extensively modified by S. Fuller in june 1985 to overcome the problem of degeracies of common lines in projection which lead to improper relative weighting of the residual for different orientations.
The program now calculates the chi square for each orientation and the probability of that chi square based on an estimate of the variance obtained from the matrix of residuals for a fixed theta and phi and varying omega and the number of degrees of freedom which is determined from the number of actual points for which residuals are evalutated and the number of samples in the complete line.
The chisqr is generated by evaluating the average value of the residual on each common line and taking the deviation (in the -'ve direction - so that a one tailed test of chisquared is used ) as a measure of the significance of the particular fit to the other fits in the unit cell. The probability is calculated on the basis of this chisqr and the number of occupied common lines which went into its calculation and then multiplied by the value of the residual hence low residuals which are highly probable will be virtually unchanged while those which are very improbable but have the same value will be reduced.
The degeneracy of the common lines is compensated in several ways.
A set of routines which calculate the phase and vector residuals for fits to the symmetry near axes has been added. The 2, 5 or 3 fold symmetry is computed for that portion of the plane which lies within 1/2*radmin of the symmetry axis plane. This is added to the prob chisqr corrected phase resid in proportion to the number of points used in making the determination of each. SYMPLANE, DELZ, SYM_TWO_FOLD, SYM_THREE_FOLD, and SYM_FIVE_FOLD
The phase residuals for centrosymmetry are doubled so that they have the same average value as those for other phase comparisons.
The effect of the probability calculation is applied to the plane and the common lines residuals. The effect is limitted so that a phase residual cannot be decreased by more than a factor of 4.0 or increased by more than a factor of 10. The tuning of the probability for each new data set is done through the parameters RPROB_FACT and SPROB_FACT which should be adjusted so that the average probability times _FACT is about 1.0
