We generalize the pull approach to define the χ2 function to the analysis of the data with correlated statistical errors. We apply this method to the analysis of the Sudbury Neutrino Collaboration data obtained in the salt phase. In the global analysis of all the solar neutrino and KamLAND data we find the best fit (minimum χ2) values of neutrino parameters to be tan2θ120.42 and δm1227.1×10-5eV2. We confirm that the maximal mixing is strongly disfavored while the bounds on δm122 are significantly strengthened.
