Fit-Non-Convergence

@jonas

Dear Jonas,

I have tried to rerun the fit following the instructions you suggested. Now I have obtained more reasonable uncertainties for the parameters, and the fit converges as well.

However, I still want to confirm one thing related to the limits being set. For the fit results I obtained, I set a range limit of [-0.01,0.01] on ~ each parameter. When I tried a larger range of [-1,1], the fit failed to converge.

I am asking what test will prove that the obtained uncertainties of the considered parameters are reliable, given that we expect the central value of the parameters to be around 0.

Here is the output of the fit that converges with the limits set to [-0.01,0.01].
