Thanks very much David.
Can anybody help with this part of my question?
Another question is, how can I use MBAR energy produced by TI calculation
in my output to get the entropy and other values from the MBAR method?? Is
there any script for that?? I need that entropy as a criteria for the
number of lambda, as well as other analysis.
Best
