Constructing a model lattice to fit the observed Bragg diffraction pattern is straightforward for perfect samples, but indexing can be challenging when artifacts are present, such as poorly shaped spots, split crystals giving multiple closely aligned lattices and outright superposition of patterns from aggregated microcrystals. To optimize the lattice model against marginal data, refinement can be performed using a subset of the observations from which the poorly fitting spots have been discarded. Outliers are identified by assuming a Gaussian error distribution for the best-fitting spots and points diverging from this distribution are culled. The set of remaining observations produces a superior lattice model, while the rejected observations can be used to identify a second crystal lattice, if one is present. The prevalence of outliers provides a potentially useful measure of sample quality. The described procedures are implemented for macromolecular crystallography within the autoindexing program labelit.index (http://cci.lbl.gov/labelit).
