Re: [gmx-users] regarding the cosine content analysis

Well, the cosine content doesn't tell you very much anyway. And fitting a cosine with a full period to the second component only makes sense if the first fits well to a half cosine. If the correlation coefficient is about .1, it tells you less. It says nothing, absolutely nothing about convergence

Because it fits a little bit better to a cosine with full period than the first one fits a cosine with half period and the third one fits a cosine with 1.5 period. Tsjerk On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 1:23 PM, Ahmet yıldırım wrote: > Hi, > > I think my question was misunderstood. > My question is: > W

Hi Thomas, Okay :) First of all, do be careful that the first stage of relaxation, giving that nice principal component profile, is not exclusive. If you take it off, by leaving out the first part of the trajectory, you may well find that there is another component which is still relaxing, which m

Hi Thomas, As I've explained previously, the cosine content does not allow such inferences. Besides, taking the relaxation from the start into account in PCA is pretty nonsensical, unless you aim to characterize that relaxation in the first place. Looking at the cosine content to infer equilibrati

You don't do it the right way. You must start the analysis from the beginning not from the end of your trajectory. I.e. 0-20ns 0-30ns 0-40ns ... 0-100ns Until the cosine content of the first 3 principal components that account for most of the variance in the atomic fluctuation have been dropped a

Dear users, I performed MD simulation of 400 ns of a structure. I used the cosine content to check whether the simulation is not converged. I used last 100 and 50 ns of trajectory to the analysis, respectively. The results were very similar to each other.The cosine contents of the first ten princi
