[gmx-users] g_wham Error bars

[Nicolas]

Hello,

As far as I know, it is not possible to directly calculate and error bar 
with g_wham . At that point, you've got several options:

    1) You can run several times your umbrella sampling simulations,
    calculate several PMFs,  then calculate an average and a standard
    deviation
    2) if your simulations are split in several parts, you can calculate
    a PMF for each part and check their convergence over the time.
    3) if your PMF is supposed to be symmetrical, you can mirror it,
    calculate the difference between the PMF and its image, then used
    the difference/2 as a rough estimate of the error.

Hope that helps,
Nicolas
