CONSTRAINED FIT INFORMATION show precise values?

An overall fit to 3 branching ratios uses 6 measurements and one constraint to determine 3 parameters. The overall fit has a $\chi {}^{2}$ = 3.7 for 4 degrees of freedom.   The following off-diagonal array elements are the correlation coefficients <$\mathit \delta $x$_{i}$~$\delta $x$_{j}$> $/$ ($\mathit \delta $x$_{i}\cdot{}\delta $x$_{j}$), in percent, from the fit to parameters ${{\mathit p}_{{i}}}$, including the branching fractions, $\mathit x_{i}$ =$\Gamma _{i}$ $/$ $\Gamma _{total}$. The fit constrains the ${{\mathit x}_{{i}}}$ whose labels appear in this array to sum to one.

An overall fit to 18 branching ratios uses 59 measurements and one constraint to determine 12 parameters. The overall fit has a $\chi {}^{2}$ = 64.7 for 48 degrees of freedom.   The following off-diagonal array elements are the correlation coefficients <$\mathit \delta $x$_{i}$~$\delta $x$_{j}$> $/$ ($\mathit \delta $x$_{i}\cdot{}\delta $x$_{j}$), in percent, from the fit to parameters ${{\mathit p}_{{i}}}$, including the branching fractions, $\mathit x_{i}$ =$\Gamma _{i}$ $/$ $\Gamma _{total}$.
