/// Example demonstrating usage of HybridCalcultor
///
/// A hypothesis testing example based on number counting
/// with background uncertainty.
///
/// NOTE: This example must be run with the ACLIC (the + option ) due to the
/// new class that is defined.
///
/// This example:
///  - demonstrates the usage of the HybridCalcultor (Part 4-6)
///  - demonstrates the numerical integration of RooFit (Part 2)
///  - validates the RooStats against an example with a known analytic answer
///  - demonstrates usage of different test statistics
///  - explains subtle choices in the prior used for hybrid methods
///  - demonstrates usage of different priors for the nuisance parameters
///
/// The basic setup here is that a main measurement has observed x events with an
/// expectation of s+b.  One can choose an ad hoc prior for the uncertainty on b,
/// or try to base it on an auxiliary measurement.  In this case, the auxiliary
/// measurement (aka control measurement, sideband) is another counting experiment
/// with measurement y and expectation tau*b.  With an 'original prior' on b,
/// called \f$\eta(b)\f$ then one can obtain a posterior from the auxiliary measurement
/// \f$\pi(b) = \eta(b) * Pois(y|tau*b).\f$  This is a principled choice for a prior
/// on b in the main measurement of x, which can then be treated in a hybrid
/// Bayesian/Frequentist way.  Additionally, one can try to treat the two
/// measurements simultaneously, which is detailed in Part 6 of the tutorial.
///
/// This tutorial is related to the FourBin.C tutorial in the modeling, but
/// focuses on hypothesis testing instead of interval estimation.
///
/// More background on this 'prototype problem' can be found in the
/// following papers:
///
///  - Evaluation of three methods for calculating statistical significance
///    when incorporating a systematic uncertainty into a test of the

   // Now we demonstrate the RooStats HybridCalculator.
   //
   // Like all RooStats calculators it needs the data and a ModelConfig
   // for the relevant hypotheses.  Since we are doing hypothesis testing
   // we need a ModelConfig for the null (background only) and the alternate
   // (signal+background) hypotheses.  We also need to specify the PDF,
   // the parameters of interest, and the observables.  Furthermore, since
   // the parameter of interest is floating, we need to specify which values
   // of the parameter corresponds to the null and alternate (eg. s=0 and s=50)
   //
   // define some sets of variables obs={x} and poi={s}
   // note here, x is the only observable in the main measurement
   // and y is treated as a separate measurement, which is used
   // to produce the prior that will be used in this calculation
   // to randomize the nuisance parameters.
   w->defineSet("obs", "x");
   w->defineSet("poi", "s");
 
   // create a toy dataset with the x=150
   RooDataSet *data = new RooDataSet("d", "d", *w->set("obs"));
   data->add(*w->set("obs"));
 
   // Part 3a : Setup ModelConfigs
   // -------------------------------------------------------
   // create the null (background-only) ModelConfig with s=0
   ModelConfig b_model("B_model", w);
   b_model.SetPdf(*w->pdf("px"));
   b_model.SetObservables(*w->set("obs"));
   b_model.SetParametersOfInterest(*w->set("poi"));
   w->var("s")->setVal(0.0); // important!

   sb_model.SetSnapshot(*w->set("poi"));
 
   // Part 3b : Choose Test Statistic
   // ----------------------------------
   // To make an equivalent calculation we need to use x as the test
   // statistic.  This is not a built-in test statistic in RooStats
   // so we define it above.  The new class inherits from the
   // RooStats::TestStatistic interface, and simply returns the value
   // of x in the dataset.
 
   BinCountTestStat binCount("x");
 
   // Part 3c : Define Prior used to randomize nuisance parameters
   // -------------------------------------------------------------
   //
   // The prior used for the hybrid calculator is the posterior
   // from the auxiliary measurement y.  The model for the aux.
   // measurement is Pois(y|tau*b), thus the likelihood function
   // is proportional to (has the form of) a Gamma distribution.
   // if the 'original prior' $\eta(b)$ is uniform, then from
   // Bayes's theorem we have the posterior:
   // $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$
   // If $\eta(b)$ is flat, then we arrive at a Gamma distribution.
   // Since RooFit will normalize the PDF we can actually supply
   // $py=Pois(y,tau*b)$ that will be equivalent to multiplying by a uniform.
   //
   // Alternatively, we could explicitly use a gamma distribution:
   // `w->factory("Gamma::gamma(b,sum::temp(y,1),1,0)");`
   //
   // or we can use some other ad hoc prior that do not naturally
   // follow from the known form of the auxiliary measurement.
   // The common choice is the equivalent Gaussian:
   w->factory("Gaussian::gauss_prior(b,y, expr::sqrty('sqrt(y)',y))");
   // this corresponds to the "Z_N" calculation.
   //
   // or one could use the analogous log-normal prior
   w->factory("Lognormal::lognorm_prior(b,y, expr::kappa('1+1./sqrt(y)',y))");
   //
   // Ideally, the HybridCalculator would be able to inspect the full
   // model $Pois(x | s+b) * Pois(y | tau b )$ and be given the original
   // prior $\eta(b)$ to form $\pi(b) = Pois(y|tau*b) * \eta(b)$.
   // This is not yet implemented because in the general case
   // it is not easy to identify the terms in the PDF that correspond
   // to the auxiliary measurement.  So for now, it must be set
   // explicitly with:
   //  - ForcePriorNuisanceNull()
   //  - ForcePriorNuisanceAlt()
   // the name "ForcePriorNuisance" was chosen because we anticipate
   // this to be auto-detected, but will leave the option open
   // to force to a different prior for the nuisance parameters.
