Blake) Newsgroups: comp.lang.c Subject: RMS deviation between two sets of cartesian coords Message-ID: <27599@cs.yale.edu> Date: 5 Dec 90 04:05:28 GMT Sender: news@cs.yale.edu Distribution: na Organization: Laboratory for Computational Chemistry, Yale University Lines: 8 Nntp-Posting-Host: doctor.chem.yale.edu I am looking for code to compute the RMS deviation between two sets of cartesian coordinates. The coordinates would be arbitrarily oriented with respect to each other, so some sort of fitting would be required (LLSQ, NLLSQ, or simplex). General or specific code would be appreciated. Thanks.
