Good day . I am new to roofit and i am fiiting a crystal ball fit to my signal. Please help me


Please read tips for efficient and successful posting and posting code

ROOT Version: Not Provided
Platform: Not Provided
Compiler: Not Provided


I got some comments in the terminal like , FitConfiguration and Minimizer result are not consistent, and i don’t know the impact of this comment regarding my fit. Furthermore, there is a warning “WARNING - - ABOVE PARAMETER IS AT LIMIT” and yeah i again dont know the impact of the warning. furthermore below is the complete comment in the terminal.
