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!


When you use g_analyze -ee, you are trying to fit your data to equation A17. Your data cannot fit this expression (hence "invalid fit"). You may have convergence issues with your data or insufficient data to begin with, but I don't know much about that. The single exponential fit given is (I believe) based on the last statement made in the paper:

"When the longest correlation time, tau2, is longer than the averaging interval and (1 - alpha)tau2 is not negligible compared to alpha*tau1, there is not enough statistics to estimate the error. An example is given in Fig. 8."

An example of such a fit is shown in that figure.

        I am confusing about the result by using this method. I found in
        B. Hess's paper (Appendix, JCP, 116, 2002)  that " this gives a
        standard error estimate for 1/eta of 29.5. "; and the error he
        gives for that eta is 0.006. I thought the error should be
        calculated as 1/29.5=0.034. Thank you again for your help!


    The relationship is not a simple inversion as you've shown it.  That
    is, (standard error of 1/eta) != 1/(standard error of eta).  The
    standard error calculation depends on a number of factors, hence all
    the math in the Appendix :)  An example is given in Fig. 8 of that
    paper.
