TGraphError and x errors

Problems with errors in FIT

In ROOT, before you try to fit your graph or histogram, you MUST set “reasonable” initial values for ALL parameters of your function (except for some “built-in” formulas, like “gaus”, for which the standard fit procedure can automatically “guess” them), otherwise the fitting procedure may easily misbehave. So, try something like: f->SetParameters(-3000., 300.); See also the “initial pre-fit” + “final fit” trick in:

BTW. You may also need to make sure that the points are in “increasing order in x”: g_ll->Sort();
