SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers ensure that partial reflectometry data from different angular settings overlap consistently before combining, preventing biased results and misinterpretation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identifies overlap regions between partial data files
  • Computes overlap chi-squared metrics to assess consistency
  • Generates a Markdown quality report and a plot of partial curves
  • Guides decision-making on whether to combine partial data

Quick Start

Run assess-partial <SET_ID> to generate a quality report for the specified partial data set.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate overlap consistency between partial reflectometry data before combining datasets?

You can validate partial reflectometry overlap by computing an overlap chi-squared metric between adjacent angular parts. This Skill reads REFL_{SET_ID}_{PART_ID}_{RUN_ID}_partial.txt files and outputs a Markdown report with a diagnostic plot to check for normalization or alignment issues.

What file naming format is required for partial reflectivity data overlap analysis?

Partial reflectivity data files must follow the naming convention REFL_{SET_ID}_{PART_ID}_{RUN_ID}_partial.txt. Each file needs a one-line header and four numeric columns: Q, R, dR, and dQ.

How do I check if partial reflectivity curves have normalization or sample-change issues?

Overlap regions between adjacent partial data parts diagnose normalization, alignment, or sample-change problems. A computed overlap chi-squared metric reveals inconsistencies, and a generated diagnostic plot visually confirms whether the partial curves align properly.

Can I assess partial data overlap for a specific dataset set without processing all files?

Run assess-partial with a specified SET_ID to generate a quality report for that partial data set. The Skill identifies overlap regions only for the matching set and outputs a focused Markdown report and plot.

What does the overlap chi-squared metric tell me about my reflectometry data quality?

The overlap chi-squared metric quantifies consistency between adjacent partial reflectivity curves in overlap regions. High chi-squared values indicate normalization, alignment, or sample-change issues that should be resolved before combining the partial data.

When should I not combine partial reflectometry data from different angular settings?

Do not combine partial data when the overlap chi-squared metric reveals significant inconsistency between adjacent parts. The generated Markdown quality report and diagnostic plot help identify whether normalization, alignment, or sample-change issues prevent safe combination.
