The formula for calculating the R1 status is given below:
The formula for calculating the [[R1]] status is given below:


  <big>P1 ef = (O<sub>exp</sub> - (E<sub>f</sub> + E<sub>imp</sub>))/(E<sub>f</sub> + E<sub>imp</sub> + E<sub>circ</sub>)</big>
  <big>P1 ef = (O<sub>exp</sub> - (E<sub>f</sub> + E<sub>imp</sub>))/(E<sub>f</sub> + E<sub>imp</sub> + E<sub>circ</sub>)</big>
