ML_SIGW0 = [real]
Default: none 

Default: ML_SIGW0 = 1E-7 for ML_MODE = REFIT
= 1.0 else

Description: This flag sets the precision parameter (see here for definition) for the fitting in the machine learning force field method.


The default value for ML_MODE=REFIT works reliable in most calculations.

However, if the regularization needs to be controlled manually, like e.g. in the fitting via singular value decomposition (ML_MODE=REFIT or ML_IALGO_LINREG=4), the best is to control the regularization via this parameter and keep the noise paramter (see ML_SIGV0) constant at 1.

For the theory of this regularization parameter see this section.
