I am terribly sorry. I have not expressed myself well. I meant the standard error of the mean energy given by g_energy. So I believe I would like to know the standard error estimate.

Based on the output RMSD (standard deviation), it seems rather straightforward to calculate SE:

    I don't understand what you want exactly.
    Your g_energy command does exponential averaging, that happens
    on the printed data points. So there g_analyze or any program will
    do fine.
    For the original data g_energy gives the exact standard deviation
    over all MD steps, called RMSD.

    But do you really want the standard deviation, or do you want
    a standard error estimate?

    Is there a correct way to obtain the standard deviation for these
    data sets?
