Module function
Description Usage
Calculates statistical properties of a set of collective variables with respect to a set of reference values. used in 1 tutorialsused in 12 eggs

Output components

This action can calculate the values in the following table when the associated keyword is included in the input for the action. These values can be referenced elsewhere in the input by using this Action's label followed by a dot and the name of the value required from the list below.

Name Type Keyword Description
sqdevsum scalar default the sum of the squared deviations between arguments and parameters
corr scalar default the correlation between arguments and parameters
slope scalar default the slope of a linear fit between arguments and parameters
intercept scalar default the intercept of a linear fit between arguments and parameters
sqd scalar SQDEV the squared deviations between arguments and parameters

Input

The arguments that serve as the input for this action are specified using one or more of the keywords in the following table.

Keyword Type Description
ARG scalar the labels of the values from which the function is calculated
PARARG scalar the input for this action is the scalar output from one or more other actions without derivatives

Further details and examples

Calculates statistical properties of a set of collective variables with respect to a set of reference values.

In particular it calculates and stores as components the sum of the squared deviations, the correlation, the slope and the intercept of a linear fit.

The reference values can be either provided as values using PARAMETERS or using value without derivatives from other actions using PARARG (for example using experimental values from collective variables such as CS2BACKBONE, RDC, NOE, PRE).

\par Examples

The following input tells plumed to print the distance between three couple of atoms and compare them with three reference distances.
