Abstract
We describe in this article the techniques developed for the robust treatment of the static energy versus volume theoretical curve in the new version of the quasi-harmonic model code [Comput. Phys. Commun. 158 (2004) 57]. An average of strain polynomials is used to determine, as precisely as the input data allow it, the equilibrium properties and the derivatives of the static E (V) curve. The method provides a conservative estimation of the error bars associated to the fitting procedure ...

Nature of problem
Fit the total energy versus volume data of a solid to a continuous function and extract the equilibrium properties and the derivatives of the energy, with an estimation of the error introduced by the fitting procedure.
