Hello,

I am having some trouble with some analysis on mass weighted covariance
matrix from ptraj

I am trying to get entropy estimates using the Schlitter formula (Chem Phys
Lett, 1993,215,617). I first do an rms fit to the first frame of my data
using the following ptraj commands ( I am using AmberTools 1.2)

trajin model.mdcrd.nowaters
trajout model.mdcrd.fit
rms first mass out rms.out.fit

Then do

trajin model.mdcrd.fit
matrix mwcovar out mwcovar.out

I then use the following python script to calculate the entropy

#!/usr/bin/python
import numpy
sigma = numpy.loadtxt('mwcovar.out')
hbar = 1.054571628e-34 #Joules seconds
T = 300.0 # Kelvin
Kb = 1.3806504e-23 #Joules/Kelvin
Euler = numpy.exp(1)
constant = 10e-23 #Angstroms squared multiplied by g --> Kg (10^-3)

unit_matrix = numpy.eye(len(sigma[0]),len(sigma[0]),dtype=float)

matrix = unit_matrix + ((Kb*T*Euler*Euler)/(hbar*hbar))*sigma*constant
Entropy = 0.5*Kb*numpy.log(numpy.linalg.det(matrix))

But I get an infinite determinant and a NaN entropy, the elements matrix are
very large (10^26 or so, see below)

I have done some dimensional analysis and think my units should be ok, but
the values in the matrix indicates otherwise so I don't know exactly what is
going wrong here. Any comments welcome.

Thanks.
