Gaussian fitting method

Plots of Residuals. Residuals can be plotted in many ways overall against a linear scale versus time that the observations were made versus fitted values versus any independent variable (3 ). In every case, an adequate fit provides a uniform, random scatter of points. The appearance of any stematic trend warns of error in the fitting method. Figures 4 and 5 shows a plot of area versus concentration and the associated plot of residuals. Also, the lower part of Figure 2 shows a plot of residuals (as a continuous line because of the large number of points) for the fit of the Gaussian shape to the front half of the experimental peak. In addition to these examples, plots of residuals have been used in SBC to examine shape changes in consecutive uv spectra from a diode array uv/vis spectrophotometer attached to an SBC euid the adequacy of linear calibration curve fits (1). 

The so-called S-FIT method and the sum-of-broadened-rectangles (SOBR) method both use more sophisticated mathematical assumptions to model the shape of the S-phase region of the histogram. A polynomial equation (S-FIT) or a series of broadened Gaussian dis-... 

Using a least squares iterative method, each spectrum is fitted with two Gaussian lines. The smooth curve seen on Fig. 2 corresponds to such a Gaussian fit. This procedure provides a rather accurate value of Fc, the frequency of the center of the two Zeeman lines. It provides also the Fc uncertainty interval. This interval is related to the difference between the best fit and the experimental spectrum, which is here mainly due to noise. 

The 6-31G [17] basis set of Pople et aL was used in all calculations presented in this section. The SCF wavefunctions from which the electron density is fitted were calculated by means of the GAUSSIAN-90 [18] system of programs. Full optimization of the structure of minima and transition states has been performed. For the computation of the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) the algorithm of Gonzalez and Schlegel [47] was followed with mass-wei ted coordinates in order to get a net reaction coordinate physic ly meaningful. The fitting method used in this work has been the aforementioned PSA method.

The Role of Computers in Activation Analysis.— For many years spectral data accumulated by m.c.a. have been analysed by digital computers. Many complex schemes of spectrum analysis have been developed involving least-squares methods, iterative Gaussian fits to peaks, correlation of the subject spectrum with ideal or measured spectrum shapes, convolution methods, and many combinations and variations of these schemes. Quittner... 

In Chapter IX, Liang et al. present an approach, termed as the crude Bom-Oppenheimer approximation, which is based on the Born-Oppen-heimer approximation but employs the straightforward perturbation method. Within their chapter they develop this approximation to become a practical method for computing potential energy surfaces. They show that to carry out different orders of perturbation, the ability to calculate the matrix elements of the derivatives of the Coulomb interaction with respect to nuclear coordinates is essential. For this purpose, they study a diatomic molecule, and by doing that demonstrate the basic skill to compute the relevant matrix elements for the Gaussian basis sets. Finally, they apply this approach to the H2 molecule and show that the calculated equilibrium position and foree constant fit reasonable well those obtained by other approaches.
