Item Description

The correlation coefficient between the observed and calculated structure factors for reflections included in the refinement. This correlation factor is found in the fitting using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to search for the minimum value of chisquare. Almost all computer codes for Rietveld refinement employ the Gauss-Newton algorithm to find parameters which minimize the weighted sum of squares of the residuals. A description of the equations is given on http://www.water.hut.fi/tkarvone/fr_org_s.htm
