Hi,

This is a general question for all relax developers and contributors, as
well as relax users.  This important question is - how do you perform a
grid search in a relaxation dispersion analysis for large spin clusters?
Is there a different technique for determining the starting parameter
values?  How is the starting point of optimisation chosen?

When there is a cluster of many spins, the grid search is prohibitively
expensive.  My idea would be to let the user specify a directory of relax
results from a previous dispersion analysis.  For example an analysis
whereby no clustering has been used.  Then the optimised parameters from
the earlier analysis is used as the starting point of the clustered
analysis.

This then raises an important question.  What do you do for the shared
cluster parameters?  This is only for population and kex parameters.  Is an
average value used?  Or do you hold all non-cluster specific parameters
(R20 and all parameters with delta_omega) constant and perform a grid
search on the others?  Do you know what is normally done in the field?

Cheers,

Edward


P. S.  Nothing is implemented yet, so large spin clusters will currently
choke the auto-analysis.
