Hi,
The poorly-named 'crosscorr' command in CPPTRAJ will calculate the
Pearson product moment correlation coefficients between 2 or more data
sets. For example, using the input:
parm ../tz2.parm7
trajin ../tz2.nc
distance d1 :2 :12
radgyr rg :1-3 mass nomax
crosscorr d1 rg out d1rg.dat
You'll get a 2D matrix as output:
#crosscorr_00002
1.000 1.000 0.0000
1.000 2.000 -0.3105
2.000 1.000 -0.3105
2.000 2.000 0.0000
Here the first two numbers are the indices of the data sets
(corresponding to the order you gave to the crosscorr command), so the
first line reads 'correlation coefficient between data set 1 (d1) and
data set 1 is 0.0 (of course it should actually be 1.0, but since we
know that it's not actually calculated which is why it's reported as
zero), the second is correlation between data set 1 (d1) and data set
2 (rg), etc.
Note that the Pearson coefficient is also reported as part of output
from the 'corr' command (which computes time correlation functions for
non-vector data sets), e.g.:
1: [corr d1 rg out cross.dat ]
CORR: 101 elements, max lag 101
CORRELATION COEFFICIENT d1 to rg IS -0.3105
Hope this helps,
-Dan
