25.2.1.9.1. Modified Sim weights

The scaled data are sorted into bins according to d spacing, and a three-term polynomial is fitted to the mean values of [|F^{2}_{\rm obs} - F^{2}_{\rm calc}|] as a function of resolution. For each reflection, a unimodal phase probability distribution is constructed using a modification (Bricogne, 1976[link]) of the Sim (1959)[link] weighting scheme via [P(\varphi_{P}) = k \exp \left[{2F_{\rm obs} F_{\rm calc} \cos (\varphi_{P} - \varphi_{\rm calc}) \over \langle | F_{\rm obs}^{2} - F_{\rm calc}^{2}|\rangle}\right], \eqno(25.2.1.29)] where the average in the appropriate resolution range is determined from the polynomial. This distribution is cast in the A, B, C, D form with [\eqalignno{ A &= W \cos (\varphi_{\rm calc}), &\cr B &= W \sin (\varphi_{\rm calc}), &\cr C &= 0 &\cr D &= 0\;\;{\rm and}&\cr W &= {2F_{\rm obs} F_{\rm calc} \over \langle |F_{\rm obs}^{2} - F_{\rm calc}^{2}|\rangle}. &(25.2.1.30)\cr}] Phase combination with the anchor set then proceeds according to equation (25.2.1.10)[link], and the combined distributions are integrated to give a new phase and figure of merit for each reflection.
