Definition:
The least-squares goodness-of-fit parameter S for reflection data
classified as 'observed' (see _reflns.observed_criterion) after
the final cycle of refinement. Ideally, account should be taken
of parameters restrained in the least-squares refinement.
See also the definition of _refine.ls_restrained_S_obs.
( sum|w |Y~obs~ - Y~calc~|^2^| )^1/2^
S = ( ---------------------------- )
( N~ref~ - N~param~ )
Y~obs~ = the observed coefficients
(see _refine.ls_structure_factor_coef)
Y~calc~ = the calculated coefficients
(see _refine.ls_structure_factor_coef)
w = the least-squares reflection weight
[1/(e.s.d. squared)]
N~ref~ = the number of reflections used in the refinement
N~param~ = the number of refined parameters
sum is taken over the specified reflections
