[ROOT] fitting 2 datasets simultaneously

       Hi Rooters,

  I need to simultaneously fit two independent data
sets :

      A:(xa_i,ya_i), i=0...N_A 

      B:(xb_j,yb_j), j=0...N_B

  with two similar functions :

  f_A(p_A, par0, par1,...,parn) to describe data set A

  f_B(p_B, par0, par1,...,parn) to describe data set B

The two functions have the same expression, and share
the same parameters : they differ by only one 
parameter (the first one). Of course I can fit
independently A with f_A and B with f_B. But what I
need is the common parameters values (par0,... parn)
and values of (par_A, par_B) that fit simultaneously 
the two datasets, i.e. that minimize the combined 
chisquare (sum of the 2 chisquares).

I have tried different methods (and sometimes
awful tricks) with Root but failed to write
a working program.

Is there an easy way to do this with Root ?

Michel
