//
// Class RooIntegralMorph is an implementation of the histogram interpolation
// technique described by Alex Read in 'NIM A 425 (1999) 357-369 'Linear interpolation of histograms'
// for continuous functions rather than histograms. The interpolation method, in short,
// works as follows. 
//
//   - Given a p.d.f f1(x) with c.d.f F1(x) and p.d.f f2(x) with c.d.f F2(x)
// 
//   - One finds takes a value 'y' of both c.d.fs and determines the corresponding x
//     values x(1,2) at which F(1,2)(x)==y. 
//
//   - The value of the interpolated p.d.f fbar(x) is then calculated as 
//     fbar(alpha*x1+(1-alpha)*x2) = f1(x1)*f2(x2) / ( alpha*f2(x2) + (1-alpha)*f1(x1) ) ;
// 
// From a technical point of view class RooIntegralMorph is a p.d.f that takes
// two input p.d.fs f1(x,p) an f2(x,q) and an interpolation parameter to
// make a p.d.f fbar(x,p,q,alpha). The shapes f1 and f2 are always taken
// to be end the end-points of the parameter alpha, regardless of what
// the those numeric values are. 
//
// Since the value of fbar(x) cannot be easily calculated for a given value
// of x, class RooIntegralMorph is an implementation of RooAbsCachedPdf and
// calculates the shape of the interpolated p.d.f. fbar(x) for all values
// of x for a given value of alpha,p,q and caches these values in a histogram
// (as implemented by RooAbsCachedPdf). The binning granularity of the cache
// can be controlled by the binning named "cache" on the RooRealVar representing
// the observable x. The fbar sampling algorithm is based on a recursive division
// mechanism with a built-in precision cutoff: First an initial sampling in
// 64 equally spaced bins is made. Then the value of fbar is calculated in
// the center of each gap. If the calculated value deviates too much from
// the value obtained by linear interpolation from the edge bins, gap
// is recursively divided. This strategy makes it possible to define a very
// fine cache sampling (e.g. 1000 or 10000) bins without incurring a
// corresponding CPU penalty.
//
// Note on numeric stability of the algorithm. Since the algorithm relies
// on a numeric inversion of cumulative distributions functions, some precision
// may be lost at the 'edges' of the same (i.e. at regions in x where the
// c.d.f. value is close to zero or one). The general sampling strategy is
// to start with 64 equally spaces samples in the range y=(0.01-0.99).
// Then the y ranges are pushed outward by reducing y (or the distance of y to 1.0)
// by a factor of sqrt(10) iteratively up to the point where the corresponding
// x value no longer changes significantly. For p.d.f.s with very flat tails
// such as Gaussians some part of the tail may be lost due to limitations
// in numeric precision in the CDF inversion step. 
//
// An effect related to the above limitation in numeric precision should
// be anticipated when floating the alpha parameter in a fit. If a p.d.f
// with such flat tails is fitted, it is likely that the dataset contains
// events in the flat tail region. If the alpha parameter is varied, the
// likelihood contribution from such events may exhibit discontinuities
// in alpha, causing discontinuities in the summed likelihood as well
// that will cause convergence problems in MINUIT. To mitigate this effect
// one can use the setCacheAlpha() method to instruct RooIntegralMorph
// to construct a two-dimensional cache for its output values in both
// x and alpha. If linear interpolation is requested on the resulting
// output histogram, the resulting interpolation of the p.d.f in the
// alpha dimension will smooth out the discontinities in the tail regions
// result in a continuous likelihood distribution that can be fitted.
// An added advantage of the cacheAlpha option is that if parameters
// p,q of f1,f2 are fixed, the cached values in RooIntegralMorph are
// valid for the entire fit session and do not need to be recalculated
// for each change in alpha, which may result an considerable increase
// in calculation speed.
