Combined fit with user defined fit functions

[steven_sani]

Hi,
I rewrote the https://root.cern.ch/root/html/tutorials/fit/combinedFit.C.html macro to simultaneously fit two different dataset with measurement errors using user defined functions which have common parameters, however some problems occurred. I obtained the following error message:

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

The rewritten macro is tr.C (4.0 KB)
Both of the models (fit functions) have 4-4 free parameters and each are common.
The corresponding data sets can be found here: data.zip (1.6 KB) .

How could be solved this problem? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

TF1 *sigma = new TF1("sigma", sigma_base, 1, 100000, 4);
TF1 *rho = new TF1("rho", rho_base, 1, 100000, 4);

BTW. When you post “source code” or “output” here, do remember to enclose them into two lines which contain just three characters ``` (see how your post has been edited above).

Thank you! It works with this corrections. However my personal computer is not compatible with Linux. If i try to run this code simply on Windows I obtain the next error message:

root [0] .x tr.C()
Error: Can’t call Chi2FCNROOT::Math::IBaseFunctionMultiDim::Chi2FCNROOT::Math::IBaseFunctionMultiDim(dataS,wsigma) in current scope C:\root_v5.34.36\macros\tr.C(117)
Possible candidates are…
filename line:size busy function type and name
*** Interpreter error recovered ***

Then if I try to run with ACLiC I obtain the following one:

Could this problem be solved? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
