[Ifeffit] Re: statistical parameters (Josh Kas)

[Stefano Ciurli]

Hi Josh,
thanks a lot. Yes of course I have the paper and I have read it and 
that is the reason why I asked the question about what is calculated 
by IFEFFIT considering the fact that from the mere examination of the 
numbers I could not make much sense of them. I am writing up a paper 
and I would like to know well what I am reporting in it.... So I hope 
Matt will help.
Stefano
