==How precise is the estimate of Rfree for a certain number of test set reflections?==
==How precise is the estimate of [[iucr:Free_R_factor|R<sub>free</sub>]] for a certain number of test set reflections?==
The estimate for the relative error of R_free is 1/sqrt(n), where n is the size of the test set. So if n is 1000, and the R_free is 31%, you would expect its relative error to be 31%/sqrt(1000), which is about 1%.
