Histogram bin content in the user defined fitting function

[Shanker]

Hello all,

I am trying to write a user defined fitting function like Double_t Func(doublex, doublep), here for one of the parameter p[0], I need to fix the parameter from a histogram for given time (x) with histogram bin content. Is there is any way to include bincontent to the fitting parameter depending upon x? Thank you so much.

I’m not sure I understand the question… Maybe @moneta can give you some information

Hi,

I am not sure I have well understood the problem. A parameter p[] should be a free parameter of your function and you should not set or fix to something else within the user provided function.

You can pass other parameters to the function, for example , histogram bin contents, using several tricks, for example using a global defined histogram or use a lambda function which captures a reference to the histogram

Hi Moneta,

Sorry, I mean, to pass other parameters to the function as you mention. I wrote some vague lines in my earlier post. Especially, I need to send histogram bin content. Can I find any example related to this in the root? It will be more helpful for me.

Thank you,
Shanker

Hi,

An example where the histogram is defined as a global object is here:
