The overall standard uncertainty (estimated standard deviation)
of the displacement parameters based on the crystallographic
R value, expressed in a formalism known as the dispersion
precision indicator (DPI).
The overall standard uncertainty (sigmaB) gives an idea
of the uncertainty in the B values of averagely defined
atoms (atoms with B values equal to the average B value).
Na
(sigmaB)2 = 0.65 ---------- (Rvalue)2 (Dmin)2 C-2/3
(No-Np)
Na = number of atoms included in refinement
No = number of observations
Np = number of parameters refined
Rvalue = conventional crystallographic R value
Dmin = maximum resolution
C = completeness of data
