Class MnUserParameters

java.lang.Object

org.freehep.math.minuit.MnUserParameters

public class MnUserParameters
extends java.lang.Object

API class for the user interaction with the parameters. Serves as input to the minimizer as well as output from it; users can interact: fix/release parameters, set values and errors, etc.; parameters can be accessed via their parameter number or via their user-specified name.

Method Detail

variableParameters

public int variableParameters()

add

public void add(java.lang.String name,
                double val,
                double err)

Add free parameter name, value, error

When adding parameters, MINUIT assigns indices to each parameter which will be the same as in the double[] in the FCNBase.valueOf(). That means the first parameter the user adds gets index 0, the second index 1, and so on. When calculating the function value inside FCN, MINUIT will call FCNBase.valueOf() with the elements at their respective positions.

add

public void add(java.lang.String name,
                double val,
                double err,
                double low,
                double up)

Add limited parameter name, value, lower bound, upper bound

add

public void add(java.lang.String name,
                double val)

Add const parameter name, value

fix

public void fix(int index)

Fixes the specified parameter (so that the minimizer will no longer vary it)

release

public void release(int index)

Releases the specified parameter (so that the minimizer can vary it)

setValue

public void setValue(int index,
                     double val)

Set the value of parameter. The parameter in question may be variable, fixed, or constant, but must be defined.

Set the lower and upper bound on the specified variable.

setUpperLimit

public void setUpperLimit(int index,
                          double up)

value

public double value(int index)

error

fix

public void fix(java.lang.String name)

Fixes the specified parameter (so that the minimizer will no longer vary it)

release

public void release(java.lang.String name)
