Dear Ifeffit users,

I have a very simple doubt about reporting the uncertainties in R_fit.

In the fit, I have assumed that a bond length changes by a constant fraction, *alpha* such that

Delta R = R_effective * alpha

and,

R_fit = R_effective +/- Delta R

I can get uncertainties in the fitted value of *alpha* from artemis. But the question is how to work out the uncertainties in the  R_fit. Will it be same as that of *alpha* ??

Thanks in advance !!!

With best regards,
Jatin

If Y = A + A*X, where A is a constant, X is an independent variable, and you know that X has uncertainty Delta X, then uncertainty in Y is: Delta Y = A * Delta X.

Since R_eff is constant, surely all you need to do is multiply R_eff by the
uncertainty in alpha?  That will be the uncertainty in delta_R and R_fit.

The program is only giving you statistically-derived uncertainty for the
values it fits; the user needs to determine how to propagate or otherwise
deal with this uncertainty.
