\class RooMinimizer
\ingroup Roofitcore
 
RooMinimizer is a wrapper class around ROOT::Fit:Fitter that
provides a seamless interface between the minimizer functionality
and the native RooFit interface.
By default the Minimizer is MINUIT.
RooMinimizer can minimize any RooAbsReal function with respect to
its parameters. Usual choices for minimization are RooNLLVar
and RooChi2Var
RooMinimizer has methods corresponding to MINUIT functions like
hesse(), migrad(), minos() etc. In each of these function calls
the state of the MINUIT engine is synchronized with the state
of the RooFit variables: any change in variables, change
in the constant status etc is forwarded to MINUIT prior to
execution of the MINUIT call. Afterwards the RooFit objects
are resynchronized with the output state of MINUIT: changes
parameter values, errors are propagated.
Various methods are available to control verbosity, profiling,
automatic PDF optimization.
