Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN Get in memory an histogram from a root file and fit a user defined function.

Note that a user defined function must always be defined as in this example:

  • first parameter: array of variables (in this example only 1-dimension)
  • second parameter: array of parameters Note also that in case of user defined functions, one must set an initial value for each parameter.
