| moment | the central moments of the distribution of values. The second central moment would be referenced elsewhere in the input file using label.moment-2, the third as label.moment-3, etc. |
- Compulsory keywords
| POWERS | calculate the central moments of the distribution of collective variables. The \(m\)th central moment of a distribution is calculated using \(\frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N ( s_i - \overline{s} )^m \), where \(\overline{s}\) is the average for the distribution. The POWERS keyword takes a lists of integers as input or a range. Each integer is a value of \(m\). The final calculated values can be referenced using moment- \(m\). |
- Options
| ARG | the input to this function. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. ARG1, ARG2, ARG3... |
