Fitting with ROOT and ROOFIT

ROOT
1

Hello!

I have histogram with angular distribution. Then I try to fit this histogram by gauss and get the ChiSquare/nDOF = 1909/97
Then I fit same histogram with ROOFIT using RooGaussian and after all xframe->chiSquare() return 15.5.
Can anyone, please, explain the difference? Does xframe show chi already divided by nDOF?
Thank you in advance.

HI,
RooFit returns you the chi2 already normalized in the RooPlot::chiSquare().
