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.
