/** \class TFractionFitter
Fits MC fractions to data histogram. À la [HMCMLL](https://cds.cern.ch/record/2296378/files/hbook.pdf),
see R. Barlow and C. Beeston, Comp. Phys. Comm. 77 (1993) 219-228
\see https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/2635/contributions/25070/
\note An alternative interface is described in https://root.cern.ch/doc/master/rf709__BarlowBeeston_8C_source.html
 
The virtue of this fit is that it takes into account both data and Monte Carlo
statistical uncertainties. The way in which this is done is through a standard
likelihood fit using Poisson statistics; however, the template (MC) predictions
are also varied within statistics, leading to additional contributions to the
overall likelihood. This leads to many more fit parameters (one per bin per
template), but the minimisation with respect to these additional parameters is
done analytically rather than introducing them as formal fit parameters. Some
special care needs to be taken in the case of bins with zero content. For more
details please see the original publication cited above.
 
An example application of this fit is given below. For a TH1* histogram
("data") fitted as the sum of three Monte Carlo sources ("mc"):
 
~~~{.cpp}
{
   TH1F *data;                              //data histogram
   TH1F *mc0;                               // first MC histogram
   TH1F *mc1;                               // second MC histogram
   TH1F *mc2;                               // third MC histogram
   ....                                     // retrieve histograms
   TObjArray *mc = new TObjArray(3);        // MC histograms are put in this array
   mc->Add(mc0);
   mc->Add(mc1);
   mc->Add(mc2);
   TFractionFitter* fit = new TFractionFitter(data, mc); // initialise
   fit->Constrain(1,0.0,1.0);               // constrain fraction 1 to be between 0 and 1
   fit->SetRangeX(1,15);                    // use only the first 15 bins in the fit
   Int_t status = fit->Fit();               // perform the fit
   std::cout << "fit status: " << status << std::endl;
   if (status == 0) {                       // check on fit status
     TH1F* result = (TH1F*) fit->GetPlot();
     data->Draw("Ep");
     result->Draw("same");
   }
}

## Assumptions
A few assumptions need to be made for the fit procedure to be carried out:
 1 The total number of events in each template is not too small
    (so that its Poisson uncertainty can be neglected).
 2 The number of events in each bin is much smaller than the total
    number of events in each template (so that multinomial
    uncertainties can be replaced with Poisson uncertainties).
 
Biased fit uncertainties may result if these conditions are not fulfilled
(see e.g. arXiv:0803.2711).
 
## Instantiation
A fit object is instantiated through
    TFractionFitter* fit = new TFractionFitter(data, mc);
A number of basic checks (intended to ensure that the template histograms
represent the same "kind" of distribution as the data one) are carried out.
The TVirtualFitter object is then addressed and all fit parameters (the
template fractions) declared (initially unbounded).
 
## Applying constraints
Fit parameters can be constrained through
 
 fit->Constrain(parameter #, lower bound, upper bound);
 
Setting lower bound = upper bound = 0 removes the constraint (a la Minuit);
however, a function
 
    fit->Unconstrain(parameter #)
 
is also provided to simplify this.
 
## Setting parameter values
The function
 
    ROOT::Fit::Fitter* fitter = fit->GetFitter();
 
is provided for direct access to the ROOT::Fit::Fitter object. This allows to
set and fix parameter values, limits and set step sizes directly via
 
    fitter->Config().ParSettings(parameter #).Set(const std::string &name, double value, double step, double lower,
double upper);
 
## Restricting the fit range
The fit range can be restricted through
 
    fit->SetRangeX(first bin #, last bin #);
and freed using
 
    fit->ReleaseRangeX();
For 2D histograms the Y range can be similarly restricted using
 
    fit->SetRangeY(first bin #, last bin #);
    fit->ReleaseRangeY();
and for 3D histograms also
 
    fit->SetRangeZ(first bin #, last bin #);
    fit->ReleaseRangeZ();
It is also possible to exclude individual bins from the fit through
 
    fit->ExcludeBin(bin #);
where the given bin number is assumed to follow the TH1::GetBin() numbering.
Any bins excluded in this way can be included again using the corresponding
 
    fit->IncludeBin(bin #);
 
## Weights histograms
Weights histograms (for a motivation see the above publication) can be specified
for the individual MC sources through
 
    fit->SetWeight(parameter #, pointer to weights histogram);
and unset by specifying a null pointer.
 
## Obtaining fit results
The fit is carried out through
 
    Int_t status = fit->Fit();
where  status  is the code returned from the "MINIMIZE" command. For fits
that converged, parameter values and errors can be obtained through
 
    fit->GetResult(parameter #, value, error);
and the histogram corresponding to the total Monte Carlo prediction (which
is not the same as a simple weighted sum of the input Monte Carlo distributions)
can be obtained by
 
    TH1* result = fit->GetPlot();
## Using different histograms
It is possible to change the histogram being fitted through
 
    fit->SetData(TH1* data);
and to change the template histogram for a given parameter number through
 
    fit->SetMC(parameter #, TH1* MC);
This can speed up code in case of multiple data or template histograms;
however, it should be done with care as any settings are taken over from
the previous fit. In addition, neither the dimensionality nor the numbers of
bins of the histograms should change (in that case it is better to instantiate
a new TFractionFitter object).
 
## Errors
Any serious inconsistency results in an error.
