DESCRIPTION

       gmx  analyze  reads  an  ASCII  file and analyzes data sets.  A line in the input file may
       start with a time (see option -time) and any number of y-values may follow.  Multiple sets
       can  also  be read when they are separated by & (option -n); in this case only one y-value
       is read from each line.  All lines starting with # and @ are skipped.   All  analyses  can
       also be done for the derivative of a set (option -d).

       All options, except for -av and -power, assume that the points are equidistant in time.

       gmx  analyze  always  shows the average and standard deviation of each set, as well as the
       relative deviation of the third and fourth cumulant from those of a Gaussian  distribution
       with the same standard deviation.

       Option  -ac  produces  the  autocorrelation  function(s).   Be sure that the time interval
       between data points is much shorter than the time scale of the autocorrelation.

       Option -cc plots the resemblance of set i with a cosine of i/2 periods. The formula is:

          2 (integral from 0 to T of y(t) cos(i pi t) dt)^2 / integral from 0 to T of y^2(t) dt

       This is useful for principal components  obtained  from  covariance  analysis,  since  the
       principal components of random diffusion are pure cosines.

       Option -msd produces the mean square displacement(s).

       Option -dist produces distribution plot(s).

       Option  -av  produces  the average over the sets.  Error bars can be added with the option
       -errbar.  The errorbars can represent the standard  deviation,  the  error  (assuming  the
       points  are independent) or the interval containing 90% of the points, by discarding 5% of
       the points at the top and the bottom.

       Option -ee produces error estimates using block averaging.  A set is divided in  a  number
       of  blocks  and averages are calculated for each block. The error for the total average is
       calculated from the variance between averages of the m blocks B_i as  follows:  error^2  =
       sum  (B_i - <B>)^2 / (m*(m-1)).  These errors are plotted as a function of the block size.
       Also an analytical block average curve is plotted, assuming that the autocorrelation is  a
       sum of two exponentials.  The analytical curve for the block average is:

          f(t) = sigma``*``sqrt(2/T (  alpha   (tau_1 ((exp(-t/tau_1) - 1) tau_1/t + 1)) +
                                 (1-alpha) (tau_2 ((exp(-t/tau_2) - 1) tau_2/t + 1)))),

       where  T  is  the  total  time.   alpha, tau_1 and tau_2 are obtained by fitting f^2(t) to
       error^2.  When the actual block average is very close to the analytical curve,  the  error
       is  sigma``*``sqrt(2/T  (a  tau_1 + (1-a) tau_2)).  The complete derivation is given in B.

       Option -filter prints the RMS high-frequency fluctuation of each set  and  over  all  sets
       with  respect  to a filtered average.  The filter is proportional to cos(pi t/len) where t
       goes from -len/2 to len/2. len is supplied with the option -filter.  This  filter  reduces
       oscillations with period len/2 and len by a factor of 0.79 and 0.33 respectively.

       Option -g fits the data to the function given with option -fitfn.

       Option  -power  fits  the  data  to  b t^a, which is accomplished by fitting to a t + b on
       log-log scale. All points after the first zero or with a negative value are ignored.

       Option -luzar performs a Luzar & Chandler kinetics analysis on output from gmx hbond.  The
       input  file  can  be taken directly from gmx hbond -ac, and then the same result should be
       produced.

       Option -fitfn performs curve fitting to a number of different curves that  make  sense  in
       the  context  of molecular dynamics, mainly exponential curves. More information is in the
       manual. To check the output of the fitting procedure the option -fitted  will  print  both
       the  original  data and the fitted function to a new data file. The fitting parameters are
       stored as comment in the output file.
