ZFIT and a MATHEMATICA Implementation

ZFIT is a pythonic library created for the purpose of fitting in the context of high energy physics analyses. It seeks to provide a similar functionality to the RooFit library found within the ROOT framework in its native C++. The distinct advantage of ZFIT is its readability owing to its pythonic nature, while still maintaining the scaleability required for the analyses of large and complex data sets. Here, a brief introduction to ZFIT is given along with a short overview of the underlying fitting techniques. A pipleline from MATHEMATICA to ZFIT via the markup language YAML is then introduced, with the goal of increasing cohesion between theoretical models and experimental analyses.
