Thank you for your reply. And, how to average the values of the data? averaged over the nearest five or ten points or just skip over them? As i found in the resulted file, the negative points even reach at -0.6. In this case even the averaged data should also contain negative points which can not be neglected. > 20 dec 2012 kl. 14.30 skrev ç³æ: > > > > > Dear GROMACS users, > > > > I have been working on calculating distance autocorrelation functions by > > using g_analyze. > > The codes i used was > > g_analyze -f dist.xvg -ac autocorr.xvg -temp 300. > > 'dist.xvg' is about the average distance against simulation time.
