Hi,
If anyone is interested, I've created flow diagrams detailing a number of model-free optimisation protocols. These changes have been made to the 1.2 and 1.3 repository lines (http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/relax/), and the updated PDF user manual can be downloaded directly from the Subversion repository using the link http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/relax/1.2/docs/relax.pdf?rev=2835.
Three diagrams have been added. The first details the techniques of Mandel et al., 1995, including the hypothesis testing ANOVA model selection. The second is the changes to model-free analysis when AIC model selection is used for selecting between model-free models as well as diffusion models and when using model elimination to remove failed model-free models. The third diagram describes the new, and as of yet unpublished, model-free optimisation protocol of the 'full_analysis.py' sample script. If you have been using this script, the flow diagram should be helpful for understanding the fine details of the protocol (and why the approach is very different from anything currently being used by the field).
Cheers,
Edward
