Dear Bruce  and Matthew,

I''ve recently started using  IFEFFIT,
and  I'm a bit confused on the way it estimates the error bars.
In the IFEFFIT Reference guide,  (page 38) you mention  the variables
epsilon_k and epsilon_r, where the measurement uncertainty is stored.
In that same page, you remark that changing the values of
  epsilon_k and epsilon_r will change chi_squared, Chi-reduced
but  won't affect R_factor and the error bars.
As far as I understand, the error bars should  given by  the diagonal elements
of the  co-variance matrix, multiplied by the square root of Chi_reduced.
  In this way, I would expect that varying epsilon_k or  epsilon_r
should affect the estimated uncertainties.

Could you, please, clarify  this point?

Best Regards,
Gustavo Azevedo
