Description


              The overall standard uncertainty (e.s.d.) of the thermal
               parameters based on the crystallographic R value, expressed
               in a formalism known as the dispersion precision indicator
               (DPI).

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

                                     N_a
               (sigma_B)^2  = 0.65 --------- (R_value)^2 (D_min)^2 C^(-2/3)
                                   (N_o-N_p)


               N_a      = number of atoms
               N_o      = number of reflections included in refinement
               N_p      = number of refined parameters
               R_value  = conventional crystallographic R-value
               D_min    = maximum resolution
               C        = completeness of data
