Hi Nick,

>From the relax printouts you gave in the mail, I can see that the
problem lies much higher up in the analysis.  I can see that for all
diffusion tensors, only round 2 was reached.  This is nowhere near
enough number of iterations for the analysis to reach the global
optimisation+model selection minimum.  See figure 2 of d'Auvergne and
Gooley, 2008b (http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10858-007-9213-3) for the
iterative protocol concept and how many rounds you should expect and
the d'Auvergne and Gooley 2007 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/b702202f)
paper for the description of what a combined optimisation+model
selection minimum for a model-free analysis is.

I'm pretty sure that if the iterative procedure for each diffusion
tensor to find the global combined optimisation+model selection
minimum is completed, that the chi-squared value would significantly
decrease and hence the final AIC model selection between diffusion
tensors will produce quite a different result.  The completion of the
iterations should also eliminate a lot of artificial motions in the
system (see the above papers for details).  Do you know why only 2
iterations for each diffusion tensor was completed?

Regards,

Edward


P. S.  The RelaxError is another problem which may disappear when the
iterative procedure is completed.  This is thoroughly tested in the
relax test suite, so I think this is a corner case problem triggered
by another problem higher up in the analysis.  You would normally
never encounter this.
