Simple fitting progress display about iminuit HOT 7 CLOSED

use print_level=2

from iminuit.

print_level=1 (default) also prints out progress but only for very problematic one. Usually it converge before it converge before it gets to the second print out.

As for % run...you can't really do that though. You can only tell what's the current EDM and what's the EDM that's defined for convergence.

I actually have a much fancier plan for progress printing. I use it myself so I know knowing the progress is very important.

My plan is to send out javascript and with websocket and for each iteration it send a plot back to iPython so you know exactly what your distribution looks like at current stage. But, I won't be doing that until I got my thesis done.

I know you don't know how long MINUIT will still take, what I meant is this:

There is an upper limit (the max ncall parameter), so you can give the info that it will be finished latest after XXX more function calls and because you know how many function calls you already had and how much time they took you can convert this to a "finished latest in YYY seconds", which is useful info to have.

nice idea let me see if I can inject timing to minuit code

That sounds great.
I do a lot of fitting from the shell or ipython prompt though, so some one-line progress report every second or every function call would be very helpful in addition to the fancy plan you have for the IPython notebook.
