Description


              The overall standard uncertainty (e.s.d.) of the positional
               parameters based on a maximum likelihood residual.

               The overall standard uncertainty (sigma~X~)^2 gives an
               idea of the uncertainty in the position of averagely
               defined atoms (atoms with B values equal to average B value)

    (sigma~X~)^2  = -----------------------------------------------------
                    8 pi^2 sum~i~ {(1/Sigma - (E_o)^2 (1-m^2)(SUM_AS)s^2}

               SUM_AS         = (sigma_A)^2/Sigma^2)
               N_a            = number of atoms
               Sigma          = (sigma_{E;exp})^2 + epsilon (1-{sigma_A)^2)
               E_o            = normalized structure factors

               sigma_{E;exp}  = experimental uncertainties of normalized
                                structure factors
               sigma_A        =  SQRT(Sigma_P/Sigma_N)
                                estimated using maximum likelihood
               Sigma_P        = sum_{atoms in model} f^2
               Sigma_N        = sum_{atoms in crystal} f^2
               f              = is form factor of atoms
               delta_x        = expected error
               m              = is figure of merit of phases of reflection
                                included in summation delta_x expected error
               s              = reciprocal space vector
               epsilon        = multiplicity of diffracting plane

               summation is over all reflections included in refinement
