Thank you Sir for being so prompt in replying to queries. I do need an option where I can calculate the RMSE error of a specific atom in a given molecule, if I upload the chg file. It will be so useful if such an option will be available in Multiwfn
Today I have updated Multiwfn 3.6(dev) on the official site, the function you need has been supported. Please check Section 4.7.8 of the latest version of manual on how to use this function.

I will update Multiwfn soon, new version will include this option. Once update is finished, I will inform you here.
]]>Hello Sir,
Apologies to disturb you once again, is there any way out in Multiwfn to calculate the RMSE error around a specific atom?
There is no such an option. If you really need it, I will consider add such a function in the MK module
]]>Sir,
I uploaded a file containing CM5 charges. The phenol.wfn file was taken from the example section and then the CM5 charges were calculated. I uploaded the .chg file in the CHELP module I got RMSE error 0. I also did it with MK scheme. I got RMSE. Why is that so? Is there something wrong in my procedure. I am attaching a screenshot of the results

You didn't use the latest version, the CHELPG and MK interfaces of the latest version of 3.6(dev) on the Multiwfn website look like this
------------ Calculation of CHELPG charges ------------
-3 Toggle using atomic charges in external file, current: No
-2 Toggle loading additional fitting centers from external file, current: No
-1 Toggle using fitting points in external file, current: No
0 Return
1 Start calculation!
2 Set grid spacing, current: 0.567 Bohr ( 0.300 Angstrom)
3 Set box extension, current: 5.291 Bohr ( 2.800 Angstrom)
5 Choose ESP type, current: Nuclear + Electronic
6 Toggle if exporting fitting points with ESP after the task, current: No
You should use a file containing wavefunction information (e.g. wfn, fch) as input file, and then enter this module. Before calculation via option 1, you should first select option -3 to load atomic charges from specified .chg file.

]]>How can I assign in my case if I want to calculate the RMSE of the ESP between the quantum and the CM5 charges. I want not using any fitting CHELP or RESP. It's just that I want to calculate to error metrics.
]]>There is no any correspondence between ESP fitting points and atoms. In principle, ESP value at all points affect charge of all atoms. If you are confused, please check Section 3.9.10 for introduction of CHELPG type of ESP fitting method.
