Hi Elena,

I'm not sure whether you are asking where the error bars are
reported or how they are determined.  They should be reported in
the Fit Summary window that pops up after the fit.  The
calculation is a bit more involved, and is described in the 
Feffit manual.

Does this help?

If not, maybe I'm not understanding the question.

For a fit with more than one data set, the fit to one data set 
might be better than the fit to another data set.  In that case 
the partial R-factors would be different.

If that's not enough, please ask again.
