Estimated standard deviations which are obtained in Rietveld refinements are known to decrease towards zero with the recording step, but serial correlations appear at the same time. A simple calculation which takes into account local correlations has been developed to furnish a reliable estimate of the values they would have if these correlations vanish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
