This tutorial macro shows a typical search for a new particle by studying an invariant mass distribution. The macro creates a simple signal model and two background models, which are added to a RooWorkspace. The macro creates a toy dataset, and then uses a RooStats ProfileLikleihoodCalculator to do a hypothesis test of the background-only and signal+background hypotheses. In this example, shape uncertainties are not taken into account, but normalization uncertainties are.
