\class RooSimultaneous
\ingroup Roofitcore
 
Facilitates simultaneous fitting of multiple PDFs to subsets of a given dataset.
The class takes an index category, which is used as a selector
for PDFs, and a list of PDFs, each associated
with a state of the index category. RooSimultaneous always returns
the value of the PDF that is associated with the current value
of the index category.
 
Extended likelihood fitting is supported if all components support
extended likelihood mode. The expected number of events by a RooSimultaneous
is that of the component p.d.f. selected by the index category.
 
The index category can be accessed using indexCategory().
 
###Generating events
When generating events from a RooSimultaneous, the index category has to be added to
the dataset. Further, the PDF needs to know the relative probabilities of each category, i.e.,
how many events are in which category. This can be achieved in two ways:
- Generating with proto data that have category entries: An event from the same category as
in the proto data is created for each event in the proto data.
See RooAbsPdf::generate(const RooArgSet&,const RooDataSet&,Int_t,bool,bool,bool) const.
- No proto data: A category is chosen randomly.
\note This requires that the PDFs building the simultaneous are extended. In this way,
the relative probability of each category can be calculated from the number of events
in each category.
