ROOT::Math::BasicMinimizer Class Reference

Base Minimizer class, which defines the basic funcionality of various minimizer implementations (apart from Minuit and Minuit2) It provides support for storing parameter values, step size, parameter transofrmation etc.

. in case real minimizer impelmentations do not provide such functionality. This is an internal class and should not be used directly by the user
