Rudi: I am sure you have had datasets with that kind of Rmerge in the
past and found that they were usable... Sometimes, you have to live
with what you've got.
To go back to the original question: Daniel, to confirm twinning a
possible source for the "Rmerge misbehavior", you would need to do a
twinning analysis for each of the three individual batches. You
didn't give a lot of information, but what is the Rmerge statistics
for each individual batch? Is the Rmerge fine for each batch and goes
up only after merging the batches? How does the cumulative intensity
distribution look like (for each batch)? How does the I/sigma(I)
statistics look like? Is there anomalous signal in the data? Is there
anisotropy in the data? Have the batches been indexed in the same
setting, etc. etc.? We will need to know a lot more to answer the
original question.
Finally, to come back again to my utter disrespect for Rmerge
statistics, I would like to know what the quality of the electron
density from the room temperature dataset was and if it was
sufficient to see the substrate.
Long live high Rmerge!
