However, when running I get the error

This seems like an easy fix, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
In principle you cannot fit using a chi2 un unbinned data set. It might work if each point contains a weight and this value is interpreted as the bin content.
However, the pdf for fitting must be extended ( i.e. RooAbsPdf::canBeExtended() must return TRUE) and I guess this is your problem.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer!
Indeed, the problem is that the likelihood isn’t extended. The problem is that I’m fitting a set of scale factors - so there is no extended constraint that makes sense. So my model isn’t exactly the way that most people are using RooFit. Yet the errors and the fit results are all well known. So it seems like this is an oversight. I’ve been implementing the chi2 by hand… though I’ve not added in the correlations (that is for this weekend) to get around this.
