[gmx-users] How to calculate the block averaging error from non-equilibrium MD simulations

[Yanmei Song]

Dear Justin:

Thank you so much for your quick response.

But I still don't get it. Should I calculate the standard error manually by
using the equations A17 (in B. Hess' s paper) after I get the result by
g_analyze. And then which value I should use for the sigma?

Here is the output :

invalid fit:  e.e. 15.6513  a 2.17585  tau1 28.9321  tau2 46.3966
Will use a single exponential fit for set 1
Set   1:  err.est. 21.0339  a 1  tau1 15.1648  tau2 0

I really appreciate your patience and help!
