Definition:

   
     Number of parameters refined in the least-squares process. If
     possible this number should include the restrained parameters.
     The restrained parameters are distinct from the constrained
     parameters (where one or more parameters are linearly dependent
     on the refined value of another).  Least-squares restraints
     often depend on geometry or energy considerations and this
     makes their direct contribution to this number, and to the
     goodness-of-fit calculation, difficult to assess.
