Functions
t_pargs *	add_acf_pargs (int npargs, t_pargs pa)
	Add commandline arguments related to autocorrelations to the existing array. *npargs must be initialised to the number of elements in pa, it will be incremented appropriately. More...

	Returns the number of points to output from a correlation function. Works only AFTER do_auto_corr has been called! More...

t_pargs* add_acf_pargs	(	int *	npargs,
		t_pargs *	pa
	)

Add commandline arguments related to autocorrelations to the existing array. *npargs must be initialised to the number of elements in pa, it will be incremented appropriately.

Parameters

	npargs	The number of arguments before and after (is changed in this function)
[in]	pa	The initial argument list

Returns: the new array

void do_autocorr	(	const char *	fn,
		const gmx_output_env_t *	oenv,
		const char *	title,
		int	nframes,
		int	nitem,
		real **	c1,
		real	dt,
		unsigned long	mode,
		gmx_bool	bAver
	)

Calls low_do_autocorr (see below). add_acf_pargs has to be called before this can be used.

Parameters

[in]	fn	File name for xvg output (may this be NULL)?
[in]	oenv	The output environment information
[in]	title	is the title in the output file
[in]	nframes	is the number of frames in the time series
[in]	nitem	is the number of items
[in,out]	c1	is an array of dimension [ 0 .. nitem-1 ] [ 0 .. nframes-1 ] on output, this array is filled with the correlation function to reduce storage
[in]	dt	is the time between frames
[in]	mode	Different types of ACF can be done, see above
[in]	bAver	If set, all ndih C(t) functions are averaged into a single C(t)

int get_acffitfn ( void )

Returns the fitting function selected. Works only AFTER do_auto_corr has been called!

Returns: the fit function type.

int get_acfnout ( void )

Returns the number of points to output from a correlation function. Works only AFTER do_auto_corr has been called!

Returns: the output length for the correlation function

void low_do_autocorr	(	const char *	fn,
		const gmx_output_env_t *	oenv,
		const char *	title,
		int	nframes,
		int	nitem,
		int	nout,
		real **	c1,
		real	dt,
		unsigned long	mode,
		int	nrestart,
		gmx_bool	bAver,
		gmx_bool	bNormalize,
		gmx_bool	bVerbose,
		real	tbeginfit,
		real	tendfit,
		int	nfitparm
	)

Low level computation of autocorrelation functions.

do_autocorr calculates autocorrelation functions for many things. It takes a 2 d array containing nitem arrays of length nframes for each item the ACF is calculated.

A number of "modes" exist for computation of the ACF controlled by variable mode, with the following meaning.

Mode	Function
eacNormal	C(t) = < X (tau) * X (tau+t) >
eacCos	C(t) = < cos (X(tau) - X(tau+t)) >
eacIden	C(t) = < (X(tau) == X(tau+t)) > (not fully supported yet)
eacVector	C(t) = < X(tau) * X(tau+t)
eacP1	C(t) = < cos (X(tau) * X(tau+t) >
eacP2	C(t) = 1/2 * < 3 cos (X(tau) * X(tau+t) - 1 >
eacRcross	C(t) = < ( X(tau) * X(tau+t) )^2 >

For modes eacVector, eacP1, eacP2 and eacRcross the input should be 3 x nframes long, where each triplet is taken as a 3D vector

For mode eacCos inputdata must be in radians, not degrees!

Other parameters are:

Parameters

[in]	fn	is output filename (.xvg) where the correlation function(s) are printed
[in]	oenv	controls output file properties
[in]	title	is the title in the output file
[in]	nframes	is the number of frames in the time series
[in]	nitem	is the number of items
[in]	nout
[in,out]	c1	is an array of dimension [ 0 .. nitem-1 ] [ 0 .. nframes-1 ] on output, this array is filled with the correlation function to reduce storage
