#54 closed defect (fixed)

Potential problem when parameters are fixed in the second stage of the fit

Description

As mentioned in 46, the finalisation performed in LauAbsFitModel::finaliseFitResults assumes that the covariance matrix returned by Minuit contains all of the fit parameters.

If a parameter is fixed in the second stage of the fit then the covariance matrix will be too small. This could be resolved in such cases, by performing a special third stage with all parameters floated.
