Decay time fit with errors that are a function of decay time

Dear experts,
I am trying to do an extension of the decay time fit example in Roofit rf307 example, where I want to build a PDF that has the bias and sigma,each as a function of decay time.
(also want to include an acceptance function, but first just getting this part to work without acceptance.) The basic example works if bias and sigma are constants, but when I make them RooForumlaVars with a simple linear function, then the fit clearly doesn’t describe the toy data.

The code is a simple adaptation as shown below.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong here, or is there a different way to go about this kind of model?

Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Steve

Hi @sblusk1,

First of all, welcome to the ROOT forum. Maybe @jonas or @moneta can help with that.

Cheers,
J.

Thanks @jalopezg, I will wait to see if @moneta or @jonas can point me in the right direction. Key point here is that the average decay time error is a function of the decay time.
Cheers,
Steve
