Detailed Description

The abstract interface to the fitter.

The abstract interface to the fitter. Concrete implementations provide the singleton interface with a particular fitter, e.g. Minuit.

Member Function Documentation

LauAbsFitter::ClassDef ( LauAbsFitter  ,
 
)
private
virtual const TMatrixD& LauAbsFitter::covarianceMatrix ( ) const
pure virtual

Retrieve the fit covariance matrix.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::fixSecondStageParameters ( )
pure virtual

Fix parameters marked as "second stage".

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual LauFitObject* LauAbsFitter::getFitObject ( )
pure virtual

Get the object that controls the calculation of the likelihood.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::initialise ( LauFitObject fitObj,
const std::vector< LauParameter * > &  parameters 
)
pure virtual

Initialise the fitter, setting the information on the parameters.

Parameters
[in]fitObjthe object that controls the likelihood calculation
[in]parametersthe list of parameters of the fit

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual const FitStatus& LauAbsFitter::minimise ( )
pure virtual

Perform the minimisation of the fit function.

Returns
the status code of the fit and the minimised value

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual UInt_t LauAbsFitter::nFreeParameters ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the number of floating fit parameters.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual UInt_t LauAbsFitter::nParameters ( ) const
pure virtual

Get the total number of fit parameters.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

LauAbsFitter& LauAbsFitter::operator= ( const LauAbsFitter rhs)
private

Copy assignment operator - private and not implemented.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::releaseSecondStageParameters ( )
pure virtual

Release parameters marked as "second stage".

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual Bool_t LauAbsFitter::twoStageFit ( ) const
pure virtual

Determine whether the two-stage fit is enabled.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::twoStageFit ( Bool_t  doTwoStageFit)
pure virtual

Turn on or off the two stage fit.

The two-stage fit allows certain parameters to be fixed in one stage and floated in another stage of the fit. Can be used, for example, in a CP fit where the CP-parameters are fixed to zero in the first stage (while the CP-average parameters are determined), then floated in the second.

Parameters
[in]doTwoStageFitboolean specifying whether or not the two-stage fit should be enabled

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::updateParameters ( )
pure virtual

Update the values and errors of the parameters based on the fit minimum.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual Bool_t LauAbsFitter::useAsymmFitErrors ( ) const
pure virtual

Determine whether calculation of asymmetric errors is enabled.

Implemented in LauMinuit.

virtual void LauAbsFitter::useAsymmFitErrors ( Bool_t  useAsymmErrors)
pure virtual

Turn on or off the computation of asymmetric errors (e.g. MINOS routine in Minuit)

Parameters
[in]useAsymmErrorsboolean specifying whether or not the computation of asymmetric errors is enabled

Implemented in LauMinuit.
