Function which has parameters.

For example, one could define a one-dimensional Gaussian, by considering x as an input coordinate for the evaluation of the function, and the mean and the square root of the variance as parameters.

AS OF NOW PARAMETRICFUNCTION INHERITS FROM FCNBASE INSTEAD OF GENERICFUNCTION. THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE NUMERICAL2PGRADIENTCALCULATOR NEEDS AN FCNBASE OBJECT AND WILL BE CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ParametricFunction() [1/2]

ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::ParametricFunction ( const std::vector< double > & params )

inline

Constructor which initializes the ParametricFunction with the parameters given as input.

Parameters

params vector containing the initial Parameter values

Definition at line 59 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ ParametricFunction() [2/2]

ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::ParametricFunction ( int nparams )

inline

Constructor which initializes the ParametricFunction by setting the number of parameters.

Parameters

nparams number of parameters of the parametric function

Definition at line 72 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ ~ParametricFunction()

virtual ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::~ParametricFunction ( )

inlinevirtual

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetGradient()

std::vector< double > ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::GetGradient ( const std::vector< double > & x ) const

virtual

Member function returning the Gradient of the function with respect to its variables (but without including gradients with respect to its internal parameters).

Parameters

x	vector containing the coordinates of the point where the Gradient is to be calculated.

Returns: the Gradient vector of the function at the given point.

Definition at line 26 of file ParametricFunction.cxx.

◆ GetParameters()

virtual const std::vector< double > & ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::GetParameters ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Accessor for the state of the parameters.

Returns: vector containing the present Parameter settings

Definition at line 105 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ NumberOfParameters()

virtual unsigned int ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::NumberOfParameters ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Accessor for the number of parameters.

Returns: the number of function parameters

Definition at line 117 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ operator()() [1/2]

virtual double ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::operator() ( const std::vector< double > & x ) const

pure virtual

Evaluates the function with the given coordinates.

Parameters

x	vector containing the input coordinates

Returns: the result of the function evaluation with the given coordinates.

Implements ROOT::Minuit2::FCNBase.

◆ operator()() [2/2]

virtual double ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::operator()	(	const std::vector< double > &	x,
		const std::vector< double > &	params
	)		const

inlinevirtual

Evaluates the function with the given coordinates and Parameter values.

This member function is useful to implement when speed is an issue as it is faster to call only one function instead of two (SetParameters and operator()). The default implementation, provided for convenience, does the latter.

Parameters

x	vector containing the input coordinates
params	vector containing the Parameter values

Returns: the result of the function evaluation with the given coordinates and parameters

Definition at line 154 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ SetParameters()

virtual void ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::SetParameters ( const std::vector< double > & params ) const

inlinevirtual

Sets the parameters of the ParametricFunction.

Parameters

params vector containing the Parameter values

Definition at line 88 of file ParametricFunction.h.

Member Data Documentation

◆ par

std::vector<double> ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::par

mutableprotected

The vector containing the parameters of the function It is mutable for "historical reasons" as in the hierarchy methods and classes are const and all the implications of changing them back to non-const are not clear.
