Hi @anikiten!
Two questions first:
Which ROOT version are you using? I think this was a problem a few versions ago but I fixed it in the meantime. See the release notes for ROOT 6.26. However, since you are apparently using a very old CMSSW release, you don’t benefit from the fix I know there is some effort to make combine work with ROOT 6.26, can you maybe do that?
Are you fitting a RooDataSet or a RooDataHist?
Cheers,
Jonas
