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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ParametricFunction() [1/2]

ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::ParametricFunction ( const std::vector< double > &  params)
inline

Constructor which initializes the ParametricFunction with the parameters given as input.

Parameters
paramsvector containing the initial Parameter values

Definition at line 55 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ ParametricFunction() [2/2]

ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::ParametricFunction ( int  nparams)
inline

Constructor which initializes the ParametricFunction by setting the number of parameters.

Parameters
nparamsnumber of parameters of the parametric function

Definition at line 66 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ ~ParametricFunction()

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetGradient()

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.

Definition at line 24 of file ParametricFunction.cxx.

◆ GetParameters()

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

Definition at line 93 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ NumberOfParameters()

virtual unsigned int ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::NumberOfParameters ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Accessor for the number of parameters.

Returns
the number of function parameters

Definition at line 102 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ operator()() [1/2]

double ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::operator() ( const std::vector< double > &  x) const
overridepure 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.

◆ operator()() [2/2]

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

Definition at line 137 of file ParametricFunction.h.

◆ SetParameters()

virtual void ROOT::Minuit2::ParametricFunction::SetParameters ( const std::vector< double > &  params) const
inlinevirtual

Sets the parameters of the ParametricFunction.

Parameters
paramsvector containing the Parameter values

Definition at line 78 of file ParametricFunction.h.
