Perhaps next time I'll notice the attachment ...
I don't see that "r factor for k-weight=..." in my old projects; I'm not
sure if I just never used that version? I checked some Artemis 0.8.006
logfiles from 2009 and per-k-weight R-factors aren't in there, so that's a
little weird.
I'm still pretty sure, as you say, the overall R-factor is the
statistically meaningful one.

Hi Chris,
Might be helpful also to link to the archived thread you're talking about.

Bruce might have to correct me on this, but if I remember right there were individual-data-set R-factor and chi-square calculations at some point, which come not from IFEFFIT but from Bruce's own post-fit calculations, and these eventually were found to be pretty buggy and were dropped.
I don't understand what "the average over the k weights" R factor is; analyzing the same data set with multiple k weights (which is pretty typical) still means a single fit result and a single statistical output in IFEFFIT, as far back as I can remember, anyhow. The discussion about multiple R-factors is for when you're simultaneously fitting multiple data sets (i.e. trying to fit a couple different data sets to some shared or partially shared set of guess variables).
I think the overall residuals and chi-square are the more statistically meaningful values, as they are actually calculated by the same algorithm used to determine the guess variables - they're the quantities IFEFFIT is attempting to reduce. I don't believe I've reported the per-data-set residuals in my final results, as I only treated it as an internal check for myself. (It would be nice to have again, though...)

I am reviewing some older analysis projects from artemis and just wanted to know which R-factor more accurately describes the misfit? I suspect the average over the k weights values since this was adopted in Demeter?
Thanks,
