run. That's fair enough. In that sense minuit complements scipy/CG, providing alternatives for the cases where CG performs below its usual standard. iminuit also has some useful extra functionality such as computing confidence intervals and making contour plots. These are both very nice

problems which get stuck in local minima using CG with messy likelihood functions. It's quite useful to have different minimizers in one's toolbox, and perhaps to run more than one after the other. It's useful to have a well-tested general minimizer to also run. iminuit also has some useful
