38. Note that a better method exists for determining the population control error, see C. J. Umrigar, M. P. Nightingale, and K. J. Runge, J. Chem. Phys 99, 2865 (1993) (but it is not currently coded in QWALK). 10.1063/1.465195
39. Large population size will make these accurate calculations very time consuming. So, except for this test calculation, all of our other calculations are under the target population of 5000 walkers.
40. We used Bayesian methods to find the optimal fitting-(quartic) polynomials to the DMC and RMC data (total energies), and the energy differences are well converged within statistical errors.
