PyMinuit Description

Minuit numerical function minimization in Python PyMinuit is a free and open source development tool for Python that passes low-level Minuit functionality to Python functions.Interaction and data exploration is more user-friendly, in the sense that the user is protected from segmentation faults and index errors, parameters are referenced by their names, even in correlation matrices, and Python exceptions can be passed from the objective function during the minimization process.This extension module also makes it easier to calculate Minos errors and contour curves at an arbitrary number of sigmas from the minimum, and features a new N-dimensional scanning utility.Minuit has been the standard package for minimizing general N-dimensional functions in high-energy physics since its introduction in 1972.Minuit features a robust set of algorithms for optimizing the search, correcting mistakes, and measuring non-linear error bounds.Minuit is the minimization engine used behind-the-scenes in most high-energy physics curve fitting applications.
