You should never try to extract equilibrium properties from a system
that has not properly equilibrated. If you don't have snapshots from
proper Boltzmann sampling (and no way to reweight the snapshots to
arrive rigorously at Boltzmann sampling), then computed thermodynamic
properties will be wrong.
Normal mode analysis is not special here. It takes more snapshots to
converge a quasi-harmonic entropy calculation, but in both cases you
need to be 'equilibrated'.
