Abstract
By comparison of the accuracy and the merging R factor (R-merge) of ar tificially created X-ray data sets, it is demonstrated that R-merge is a poor predictor for the precision of X-ray data. The more often a gi ven reflection is observed, the more precise the average intensity is, whereas R-merge has a tendency to be higher at higher data redundancy .
