class TMinuitMinimizer: public ROOT::Math::Minimizer


  TMinuitMinimizer class implementing the ROOT::Math::Minimizer interface using
  TMinuit.

  (plug-in with name Minuit or TMinuit)
  In addition the user can choose the minimizer algorithm: Migrad (the default one), Simplex, or Minimize (combined Migrad + Simplex)

Function documentation

TMinuitMinimizer(ROOT::Minuit::EMinimizerType type = ROOT::Minuit::kMigrad, unsigned int ndim = 0)
 Constructor for TMinuitMinimier class via an enumeration specifying the minimization
 algorithm type. Supported types are : kMigrad, kSimplex, kCombined (a combined
 Migrad + Simplex minimization) and kMigradImproved (a Migrad mininimization folloed by an
 improved search for global minima). The default type is Migrad (kMigrad).
TMinuitMinimizer(const char* type, unsigned int ndim = 0)
 constructor from a char * for the algorithm type, used by the plug-in manager
 The names supported (case unsensitive) are:
  Migrad (default), Simplex, Minimize (for the combined Migrad+ Simplex) and Migrad_imp
~TMinuitMinimizer()
 Destructor implementation.
TMinuitMinimizer(const TMinuitMinimizer& )

bool UseStaticMinuit(bool on = true)
 static method to control usage of global TMinuit instance
void InitTMinuit(int ndim)
void SetFunction(const ROOT::Math::IMultiGenFunction & func)
 Set the objective function to be minimized, by passing a function object implement the
 basic multi-dim Function interface. In this case the derivatives will be
 calculated by Minuit
 Here a TMinuit instance is created since only at this point we know the number of parameters
void SetFunction(const ROOT::Math::IMultiGradFunction & func)
 Set the objective function to be minimized, by passing a function object implement the
 multi-dim gradient Function interface. In this case the function derivatives are provided
 by the user via this interface and there not calculated by Minuit.
void Fcn(int& , double* , double& f, double* , int )
 implementation of FCN static function used internally by TMinuit.
 Adapt IMultiGenFunction interface to TMinuit FCN static function
void FcnGrad(int& , double* g, double& f, double* , int )
 implementation of FCN static function used internally by TMinuit.
 Adapt IMultiGradFunction interface to TMinuit FCN static function in the case of user
 provided gradient.
bool SetVariable(unsigned int ivar, const string& name, double val, double step)
 set a free variable.
bool SetLimitedVariable(unsigned int ivar, const string& name, double val, double step, double , double )
 set a limited variable.
bool CheckMinuitInstance() const
 check instance of fMinuit
bool CheckVarIndex(unsigned int ivar) const
 check index of Variable (assume fMinuit exists)
bool SetLowerLimitedVariable(unsigned int ivar, const string& name, double val, double step, double lower)
 set a lower limited variable
 since is not supported in TMinuit , just use a artificial large value
bool SetUpperLimitedVariable(unsigned int ivar, const string& name, double val, double step, double upper)
 set a upper limited variable
 since is not supported in TMinuit , just use a artificial large negative value
bool SetFixedVariable(unsigned int , const string& , double )
 set a fixed variable.
bool SetVariableValue(unsigned int , double )
 set the value of an existing variable
 parameter must exist or return false
bool SetVariableStepSize(unsigned int , double )
 set the step-size of an existing variable

 set the limits of an existing variable
 parameter must exist or return false
bool SetVariableUpperLimit(unsigned int , double )
 set the limits of an existing variable
 parameter must exist or return false
bool SetVariableLimits(unsigned int ivar, double lower, double upper)
 set the limits of an existing variable
 parameter must exist or return false

 Fix an existing variable

std::string VariableName(unsigned int ivar) const
 return the variable name
int VariableIndex(const string& name) const
 return variable index
bool Minimize()
 perform the minimization using the algorithm chosen previously by the user
 By default Migrad is used.
 Return true if the found minimum is valid and update internal chached values of
 minimum values, errors and covariance matrix.
 Status of minimizer is set to:
 migradResult + 10*minosResult + 100*hesseResult + 1000*improveResult
void RetrieveParams()
 retrieve from TMinuit minimum parameter values
 and errors
void RetrieveErrorMatrix()
 get covariance error matrix from TMinuit
 when some parameters are fixed filled the corresponding rows and column with zero's

 return expected distance from the minimum
unsigned int NFree() const
 return number of free parameters
bool GetCovMatrix(double* cov) const
 get covariance matrix
bool GetHessianMatrix(double* h) const
 get Hessian - inverse of covariance matrix
 just invert it
 but need to get the compact form to avoid the zero for the fixed parameters
int CovMatrixStatus() const
 return status of covariance matrix
           status:  0= not calculated at all
                    1= approximation only, not accurate
                    2= full matrix, but forced positive-definite
                    3= full accurate covariance matrix

void DoClear()
 reset TMinuit
void DoReleaseFixParameter(int ivar)
 check if a parameter is defined and in case it was fixed released
 TMinuit is not able to release free parameters by redefining them
 so we need to force the release

void SuppressMinuitWarnings(bool nowarn = true)
 suppress Minuit2 warnings
bool Contour(unsigned int i, unsigned int j, unsigned int& npoints, double* xi, double* xj)

 scan a parameter (variable) around the minimum value
 the parameters must have been set before
 if xmin=0 && xmax == 0  by default scan around 2 sigma of the error
 if the errors  are also zero then scan from min and max of parameter range
 (if parameters are limited Minuit scan from min and max instead of 2 sigma by default)
 (force in that case to use errors)
bool Hesse()
 perform calculation of Hessian
const double * X() const
 return  pointer to X values at the minimum
{ return &fParams.front(); }
const double * MinGradient() const
 return pointer to gradient values at the minimum
{ return 0; }

       if the variable is fixed the matrix is zero
       The ordering of the variables is the same as in errors
