ROOT::Minuit2::MnMachinePrecision Class Reference

Sets the relative floating point (double) arithmetic precision.

By default the precision values are obtained from the standard functions std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon. The values can optionally be computed directly using the ComputePrecision() member function. For a IEEE standard floating point arithmetic the computed values and the one from std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon are the same.

SetPrecision() method can instead be used to override Minuit's own determination, when the user knows that the {FCN} function Value is not calculated to the nominal machine accuracy.
