In this particular case, the initial values ## are taken from the result of the individual fits. ## ## \macro_image ## \macro_output ## \macro_code ## ## \authors Jonas Rembser, Rene Brun (C++ version) import ROOT import numpy as np n_x = 49 # fmt: off x = np.array( [ 1.913521, 1.953769, 2.347435, 2.883654, 3.493567, 4.047560, 4.337210, 4.364347, 4.563004, 5.054247, 5.194183, 5.380521, 5.303213, 5.384578, 5.563983, 5.728500, 5.685752, 5.080029, 4.251809, 3.372246, 2.207432, 1.227541, 0.8597788, 0.8220503, 0.8046592, 0.7684097, 0.7469761, 0.8019787, 0.8362375, 0.8744895, 0.9143721, 0.9462768, 0.9285364, 0.8954604, 0.8410891, 0.7853871, 0.7100883, 0.6938808, 0.7363682, 0.7032954, 0.6029015, 0.5600163, 0.7477068, 1.188785, 1.938228, 2.602717, 3.472962, 4.465014, 5.177035, ], dtype=np.float32,) # fmt: on # The histogram are filled with bins defined in the array x. h = ROOT.TH1F("h", "Example of several fits in subranges", n_x, 85, 134) h.SetMaximum(7) for i, x_i in enumerate(x): h.SetBinContent(i + 1, x[i]) # Define the parameter array for the total function. par = np.zeros(9) # Three TF1 objects are created, one for each subrange. g1 = ROOT.TF1("g1", "gaus", 85, 95) g2 = ROOT.TF1("g2", "gaus", 98, 108) g3 = ROOT.TF1("g3", "gaus", 110, 121) # The total is the sum of the three, each has three parameters. total = ROOT.TF1("total", "gaus(0)+gaus(3)+gaus(6)", 85, 125) total.SetLineColor(2) # The canvas that the histograms and fit functions are drawn on. c = ROOT.TCanvas("multifit", "multifit", 800, 400) # Fit each function and add it to the list of functions.
