Description
iminuit is a Pythonic wrapper to the MINUIT2 C++ library which is part of the ROOT framework, but does not require ROOT to be installed. iminuit is a rather simple low-level library to do fitting compared to zfit or pyhf, but its simplicity also makes it is very flexible and easy to learn. The tutorial will cover how to do typical HEP fits with iminuit, typical pitfalls, and how to resolve them. In particular, we will show to perform template fits with the new BarlowBeestonLite cost function implemented in iminuit.
