Hi (1) - I am performing an "average multiple curves", with the same number of points as the input data. - I got the "Std Dev" and the "Std Err values reported". - At first, I thought "Std Dev" should be the one being plot as error bars in the graph. Now I am doubting if "Std Err" would be better (I think I am aware that StdErr is not the Standard error of the mean, and I guess that this is related to the goodness of the average fitting? ...). Any opinions on this?
(2) - Then I am getting a "Boltzman" fit of the average curve, and reporting the values of the parameter I am interested in (x0) + the "Standard Error" for that parameter, which I read defines the goodness of the fit... Should I better report other errors such as the t-value or the prob for the parameter? Or even global "errors" such as the Rsquare or whatever?
(2) In terms of fitting, R-squared is better to be included in the output. If you would like to determine if any parameters is significantly different from 0, then show the P-value for that parameter.
