US-SOMO SAXS/SANS operations involving curve matching, scaling or fitting will produce residuals graphs, which can be toggled between three different visualization modes:
In the graph above, the difference between the calculated and the experimental I(q) points divided by the associated experimental SD are plotted as a funtion of q. The two horizontal white lines indicate the +/- 2 SD which is customarily used as limits for a good fit.
Alternatively, the data can be viewed as a % delta [100 * (I(q)calc - I(q)expt) / I(q)expt] by clicking on the Plot as percent checkbox:
Here we have added two horizontal lines indicating 5% limits of the residuals. We think that this way of plotting the residuals better takes into account the wide variation in both intensity and associated SD values along the q range usually accessed in SAXS experiments.
The same residuals can by also plotted using a log scale by clicking on the Plot log checkbox:
