Dispersion GUI mode - inspection of the results

To view the results of the analysis, the relax results window will have been automatically opened. If it was closed, click on the “ViewResults viewer” menu entry or the “Results viewer window” button in the toolbar to open the window. This window will list all of the *.out text files and *.agr 2D Grace plots created by the auto-analysis. By double clicking on the file, these can be opened. The operating specific text editor will be launched for the text files. For the Grace files, the installed Grace version (Xmgrace, QtGrace, or GraceGTK) will be launched.

Firstly, to see which models have been chosen for the spin systems and which have no statistically significant dispersion, find the model.out file and double click on it. You should see the following:

Excluding the deselected spin systems with the model `None' and those with no statistically significant dispersion, `No Rex', it can be seen that in some cased the `CR72' model is selected whereas in others the `NS CPMG 2-site expanded' model is selected. The differences between the `CR72' analytic model and the `NS CPMG 2-site expanded' numeric model are insignificant. To see this, open the CR72/chi2.out and NS CPMG 2-site expanded/chi2.out text files in the /dispersion/log_non_clustered directory and compare the optimised chi-squared values (this can be performed with the mouse by using the pipe editor window, changing the current data pipe, and double clicking on the files in the results viewer window for each data pipe - see below for more details).

To see which spins have been assigned the model `No Rex' due to the R2eff/R1ρ insignificance level of 1.0 rad/s, search the log messages for `insignificance'. You should see:

Search for `eliminate' to see which models have been removed due to the model elimination step (see section 11.9.9 on page [*] for details). For example for the CR72 model:

To see the optimised parameter values, double click on the kex.agr file to see the exchange rates. This will open the grace.view user function window by which the file can be opened. The default settings produces the following graph:

The exchange rate for most spins experiencing exchange is between 1000 and 2000 s-1. Opening the pA.agr file, it can be seen that the population of state A is approximately 0.98. A number of spins have much lower values than this, but their errors are huge meaning that all but 3 are statistically the same as 0.98 (note that a proper ANOVA statistics analysis would be required to make such statements).

To see one of the dispersion curves, open the disp_64_N.agr file in Grace. The default settings will produce the graph:
