43. It would of course have been better to perform weighted fits, since different points on empirical or ab initio potentials may be expected to have different uncertainties. However, while the uncertainties in RKR turning points due to the uncertainties in the molecular constants determining them can be calculated (Ref. 41), and the calculation of uncertainties in fitted analytic potentials (or IPA potential correction functions) is quite straightforward (Ref. 42), these methods have seen almost no use in practice (except in Ref. 42). Thus, without repeating the data analyses which yielded the potentials used herein, proper unequal weights could not be obtained.
