MINUIT from Python - Fitting like a boss
Project description
iminuit is a Python interface to the MINUIT C++ package.
It can be used as a general robust function minimisation method, but is most commonly used for likelihood fits of models to data, and to get model parameter error estimates from likelihood profile analysis.

In a nutshell
from iminuit import Minuit
def f(x, y, z):
return (x - 2) ** 2 + (y - 3) ** 2 + (z - 4) ** 2
m = Minuit(f)
m.migrad() # run optimiser
print(m.values) # {'x': 2,'y': 3,'z': 4}
m.hesse() # run covariance estimator
print(m.errors) # {'x': 1,'y': 1,'z': 1}
