PLAT905
PLAT905 Type_3 Report negative K values in the Analysis of Variance
Scale Factors (i.e. K = Mean[F(obs)**2] / Mean [F(calc)**2]) for selected groups of reflections, as listed in the Analysis of Variance Section #7 of the FCF validation report, are expected to have a value of about 1.000. Strong deviations should be investigated, acted upon or explained. (see also SHELXL manual). A reason can be meaningless (weak) high order data where a cut-back of the resolution might be indicated. Incorrect background treatment can lead to numerous negative observed intensities for weak reflections (i.e. F(calc) close to zero. For details see the Analysis-of-Variance Section 7 in the validation '.ckf' file.
