   Base Minimizer class, which defines the basic functionality of various minimizer
   implementations (apart from Minuit and Minuit2)
   It provides support for storing parameter values, step size,
   parameter transformation etc.. in case real minimizer implementations do not provide
   such functionality.
   This is an internal class and should not be used directly by the user
