[ROOT] Statistical Meaning of Errors in Minuit

Hello,
 
I need to know the statistical meaning of the errors of fitted
parameters in Minuit, when the fit works without problem. Are these
errors equal to the standard deviation (square root of the mean square
deviation of fitted parameters from the mean of the fitted parameter),
meaning that 63 % of the values fall within the error margin?
 
Unfortunately, the link on the TMinuit web page doesn't work

Regards,
Steffen
