I want to plot and otherwise use the value of the parameter I'm minimizing w.r.t. Mimimize only provides me with the solution l]ike this:

 

ans := Minimize(dChisq);
     [-64.4156340847187, [x = HFloat(0.9455666933532977)]]

 

Help does not indicate how to get at the value of x which in this case I want to plot and might want to input to further calculations. Indded I don't now what to do with above ... other than I can extract the value of the 'chisq' at the minimum. But I can't get at the important number which is where the minimum is.

No way to get the uncertainty on x is evident either. I could do this myself but need to know the value at the minimum to do it.
