[gmx-users] Re: Cross-correlation maps

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi James,

Correlation is covariance normalized to variance. So you'll need the
covariance matrix anyway. But what exactly due you mean with the loss of
information, which you could solve with correlations?

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Mark,

Is there any way to calculate such cross-correlations without
calculation of the covariance matrix ( from the MD trajectory
indirectly) ?
I've noticed that after processind of my trajectory with PCA method
some dynamics ( e.g fluctuations of the side-chains) are lost even
when I've analysed filtered.xtc from the first 50 principal
components. How I should analyse possible cross-correlations of the
fluctuations of the side-chains?
