On this page you will find links to Technical Reports that showcase new features, and examples of how FitBenchmarking has been used for particular problems or for specific scientific software packages.

Adding Bayesian Methods to FitBenchmarking

DOI: 10.5286/stfctr.2025001

This report outlines the Bayesian approach for parameter estimation which has been implemented in FitBenchmarking.

Analysing SpinW 2D Powder Fitting

DOI: 10.5286/stfctr.2026004

In this report, we utilise FitBenchmarking to analyse the performance of different implementations of fitting algorithms for 2D powder averaging problems in SpinW, in particular examining the \(CrCl_2(pym)\) dataset. SpinW is a linear spin wave theory (LSWT) modelling code written in MATLAB, and its sw_fitpowder class provides the capability to fit powder-averaged spectra to inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data.
