Is this an error or not an error in FullProf refinement technique?

13 February 2024 1 1K Report

What does this error means in fullprof refinement process i.e. "Current parameters not saved to the current PCR file: final(Chi2) > 1.2*initial(Chi2)

=> Current parameters are saved in a file of extension NEW"

Is this an error or one can accept it and keep on with the refinement process.

Current parameters are saved in a file of extension NEW"

This comes out when you run the program, again and again, to get the no of cycles as 1 or any other else.

If you don't want to see this do not run the program many times. if the refinement is not satisfied and you want to run further, then run two times and save after that, run the same fitting program.
