Hi Rooters, I get a strange error message when fitting some plots. Among information return by Minuit after the completion of the fit, I get "ERR MATRIX NOT POS-DEF" ! Can anyone know what does that mean ? Here is the output I get : FCN=153.796 FROM MIGRAD STATUS=CONVERGED 91 CALLS 92 TOTAL EDM=2.47125e-08 STRATEGY= 1 ERR MATRIX NOT POS-DEF EXT PARAMETER APPROXIMATE STEP FIRST NO.
