The statistics of intensity data from hemihedrally twinned specimens are analyzed in terms of a new parameter and are shown to take a simple form in both the centrosymmetric and non-centrosymmetric cases. This analysis provides a sensitive method for determining the twinning fraction. The effects of intensity measurement errors on the observed statistics are discussed.
