class RooMinuit: public TObject



RooMinuit is a wrapper class around TFitter/TMinuit that provides a seamless interface between the MINUIT functionality and the native RooFit interface.

RooMinuit can minimize any RooAbsReal function with respect to its parameters. Usual choices for minimization are RooNLLVar and RooChi2Var

RooMinuit has methods corresponding to MINUIT functions like hesse(), migrad(), minos() etc. In each of these function calls the state of the MINUIT engine is synchronized with the state of the RooFit variables: any change in variables, change in the constant status etc is forwarded to MINUIT prior to execution of the MINUIT call. Afterwards the RooFit objects are resynchronized with the output state of MINUIT: changes parameter values, errors are propagated.

Various methods are available to control verbosity, profiling, automatic PDF optimization.

Function documentation

void cleanup()
 Cleanup method called by atexit handler installed by RooSentinel
 to delete all global heap objects when the program is terminated
RooMinuit(RooAbsReal& function)
 Construct MINUIT interface to given function. Function can be anything,
 but is typically a -log(likelihood) implemented by RooNLLVar or a chi^2
 (implemented by RooChi2Var). Other frequent use cases are a RooAddition
 of a RooNLLVar plus a penalty or constraint term. This class propagates
 all RooFit information (floating parameters, their values and errors)
 to MINUIT before each MINUIT call and propagates all MINUIT information
 back to the RooFit object at the end of each call (updated parameter
 values, their (asymmetric errors) etc. The default MINUIT error level
 for HESSE and MINOS error analysis is taken from the defaultErrorLevel()
 value of the input function.
~RooMinuit()
 Destructor
void setStrategy(Int_t strat)
 Change MINUIT strategy to istrat. Accepted codes
 are 0,1,2 and represent MINUIT strategies for dealing
 most efficiently with fast FCNs (0), expensive FCNs (2)
 and 'intermediate' FCNs (1)
void setErrorLevel(Double_t level)
 Set the level for MINUIT error analysis to the given
 value. This function overrides the default value
 that is taken in the RooMinuit constructor from
 the defaultErrorLevel() method of the input function

 after the last MINUIT operation, the MINUIT status, variance quality,
 EDM setting, number of calls with evaluation problems, the minimized
 function value and the full correlation matrix

 Create and draw a TH2 with the error contours in parameters var1 and v2 at up to 6 'sigma' settings
 where 'sigma' is calculated as n*n*errorLevel

 Transfer MINUIT fit results back into RooFit objects
void applyCovarianceMatrix(TMatrixDSym& V)
