ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction Class Referenceabstract

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Member Function Documentation

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
xvector containing the coordinates of the point where the Gradient is to be calculated.
Returns
the Gradient vector of the function at the given point.

Reimplemented in ROOT::Minuit2::GaussianModelFunction.

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

Referenced by ROOT::Minuit2::GaussianModelFunction::GetGradient().

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.

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

Evaluates the function with the given coordinates.

Parameters
xvector containing the input coordinates
Returns
the result of the function evaluation with the given coordinates.

Implements ROOT::Minuit2::FCNBase.

Implemented in ROOT::Minuit2::GaussianModelFunction.

Referenced by operator()().

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
xvector containing the input coordinates
paramsvector containing the Parameter values
Returns
the result of the function evaluation with the given coordinates and parameters

Reimplemented in ROOT::Minuit2::GaussianModelFunction.

Definition at line 154 of file ParametricFunction.h.
