LOCALENSEMBLE
This is part of the function module

Calculates the average over multiple arguments.

If more than one collective variable is given for each argument then they are averaged separately. The average is stored in a component labelled label.cvlabel.

Compulsory keywords
NUM the number of local replicas
Options
NUMERICAL_DERIVATIVES

( default=off ) calculate the derivatives for these quantities numerically

ARG the input for this action is the scalar output from one or more other actions. The particular scalars that you will use are referenced using the label of the action. If the label appears on its own then it is assumed that the Action calculates a single scalar value. The value of this scalar is thus used as the input to this new action. If * or *.* appears the scalars calculated by all the proceeding actions in the input file are taken. Some actions have multi-component outputs and each component of the output has a specific label. For example a DISTANCE action labelled dist may have three components x, y and z. To take just the x component you should use dist.x, if you wish to take all three components then use dist.*.More information on the referencing of Actions can be found in the section of the manual on the PLUMED Getting Started. Scalar values can also be referenced using POSIX regular expressions as detailed in the section on Regular Expressions. To use this feature you you must compile PLUMED with the appropriate flag. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. ARG1, ARG2, ARG3...
Examples

The following input tells plumed to calculate the chemical shifts for four different proteins in the same simulation box then average them, calculated the sum of the squared deviation with respect to the experimental values and applies a linear restraint.
