Fitting a Gaussian distribution with background using Roofit

Roofit and RooStats
1

I want to fit a Gaussian distribution with background (Chebychev function) using Roofit, but I am not able to set fitting procedure properly. What is wrong in the code?anaspectra.py (3.7 KB)

Hello,

Before we dive in your code, could you perhaps compare what you have with the standard RooFit tutorial that shows how to fit two gaussians on top of a Chebychev background?

Cheers,

Thanks for your advice. I managed to improve the fitting, but I still have some doubts.
1 - How to change the fitting mecanism to Minuit2?
2 - Is there a command to reduce the verbose? I am using “PrintLevel=-1”, but my output has a lot of info yet.
3 - I can’t get a pdf with the plot of the histogram, the model and the backgroung. The canvas seems fine, but the pdf don’t. What am I doing wrong?
