BornAgain-git-develop Fitting

Fit reference

A fit combines a BornAgain simulation, a user-defined residual function, and a Python optimizer. BornAgain also provides helpers for preparing residuals and displaying progress; it does not prescribe the optimizer.

Start with the fitting tutorial for a complete script. This reference explains the purpose and use of each helper. Their docstrings give exact arguments and defaults: try help(ba.valid_pixel_residual) or help(ba.FitMonitor) after importing bornagain as ba.

Minimizer: configure parameters and run an optimization.
Residual functions: compare data and handle masked pixels.
Multiple datasets: combine several measurements in one objective.
Fit monitoring: plot results and print progress.
Data import: load experimental data.
