   Minuit2Minimizer class implementing the ROOT::Math::Minimizer interface for
   Minuit2 minimization algorithm.
   In ROOT it can be instantiated using the plug-in manager (plug-in "Minuit2")
   Using a string  (used by the plugin manager) or via an enumeration
   an one can set all the possible minimization algorithms (Migrad, Simplex, Combined, Scan and Fumili).
 
   Refer to the [guide](https://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/guides/minuit2/Minuit2.html) for an introduction how Minuit works.
