/** \class RooStats::ProfileLikelihoodCalculator
    \ingroup Roostats
 
ProfileLikelihoodCalculator is a concrete implementation of CombinedCalculator
(the interface class for a tools which can produce both RooStats HypoTestResults
and ConfIntervals). The tool uses the profile likelihood ratio as a test statistic,
and assumes that Wilks' theorem is valid. Wilks' theorem states that -2* log
(profile likelihood ratio) is asymptotically distributed as a chi^2 distribution
with N-dof, where N is the number of degrees of freedom. Thus, p-values can be
constructed and the profile likelihood ratio can be used to construct a
LikelihoodInterval. (In the future, this class could be extended to use toy
Monte Carlo to calibrate the distribution of the test statistic).
 
Usage: It uses the interface of the CombinedCalculator, so that it can be
configured by specifying:
 
  - a model common model (eg. a family of specific models which includes both
    the null and alternate),
  - a data set,
  - a set of parameters of interest. The nuisance parameters will be all other
    parameters of the model
  - a set of parameters of which specify the null hypothesis (including values
    and const/non-const status)
 
The interface allows one to pass the model, data, and parameters either directly
or via a ModelConfig class. The alternate hypothesis leaves the parameter free
to take any value other than those specified by the null hypotesis. There is
therefore no need to specify the alternate parameters.
 
After configuring the calculator, one only needs to ask GetHypoTest() (which
will return a HypoTestResult pointer) or GetInterval() (which will return an
ConfInterval pointer).
 
This calculator can work with both one-dimensional intervals or multi-
dimensional ones (contours)
 
Note that for hypothesis tests, it is often better to use the
RooStats::AsymptoricCalculator class, which can compute in addition the expected
p-value using an Asimov data set.
