Dear Tao Ying

I recommend you to study the MC-01 tutorial which discusses just this issue.

Best regards

Dear developers,

I'm using the ALPS dirloop_sse code to simulate the hard core boson. I have one question about the error bars from the code. How the error bars are obtained in this code?  Does it assume the autocorrelation time is short? I mean, is it assuming every measurement is statistically independent? Or is the code doing different binnings?

Best,
TaoYing
