Definition:
The measure of absolute structure as defined by Flack (1983).
For centrosymmetric structures, the only permitted value, if
the data item is present, is 'inapplicable', represented by '.' .
For noncentrosymmetric structures, the value must lie in the
99.97% Gaussian confidence interval -3u =< x =< 1 + 3u and a
standard uncertainty u must be supplied. The
_enumeration.range of 0.0:1.0 is correctly interpreted as
meaning (0.0 - 3u) =< x =< (1.0 + 3u).

Type: Real
Units: none
The permitted range is 0.0 → 1.0
