min value on flat background should not be zero but -inf (Trac #581) #713
Comments
Trac update at We need to resolve this... or move to +1 to resolve at code camp. A strong argument was made at a Tuesday discussion meeting that 0 is the correct min. Further it can be changed trivially by the user should they wish to do so. The strong part of the argument hinged on the mathematical incorrectness of the method and the fact that the resulting parameters and uncertainties would be completely wrong. This mathematical argument was made by Paul Kienzle but those in attendance tended to agree with his point. Unfortunately Richard Heenab was not present and the ticket was left open till further discussion could be had. |

Comparing 4.0 alpha2 fits with some user data in guinier_porod model, I noticed different results.
min value of flat background is set 0 instead of -inf, alas our neutron backgrounds can be negative if the model is cranky or users have oversubtracted incoherent etc.
I have not got build etc set up at present, perhaps someone else could fix this as this bug seems generic for all models.
