Method Details

create_data(self, run=None, method=None)

Function for creating simulation data.

It is assumed that all data types are residue specific.

error_analysis(self, run=None, prune=0)

Function for calculating errors from the Monte Carlo simulations.

The standard deviation formula used to calculate the errors is the square root of the
bias-corrected variance, given by the formula:

               ____________________________
              /   1
    sd  =    /  ----- * sum({Xi - Xav}^2)]
           \/   n - 1

where:
    n is the total number of simulations.
    Xi is the parameter value for simulation i.
    Xav is the mean parameter value for all simulations.
