///
/// This is a standard demo that can be used with any ROOT file
/// prepared in the standard way.  You specify:
///  - name for input ROOT file
///  - name of workspace inside ROOT file that holds model and data
///  - name of ModelConfig that specifies details for calculator tools
///  - name of dataset
///
/// With default parameters the macro will attempt to run the
/// standard hist2workspace example and read the ROOT file
/// that it produces.
///
/// The first ~100 lines define a new test statistic, then the main macro starts.
/// You may want to control:
/// ~~~{.cpp}
///   double confidenceLevel=0.95;
///   int nPointsToScan = 12;
///   int nToyMC = 150;
/// ~~~
/// This uses a modified version of the profile likelihood ratio as
/// a test statistic for upper limits (eg. test stat = 0 if muhat>mu).
///
/// Based on the observed data, one defines a set of parameter points
/// to be tested based on the value of the parameter of interest
/// and the conditional MLE (eg. profiled) values of the nuisance parameters.
///
/// At each parameter point, pseudo-experiments are generated using this
/// fixed reference model and then the test statistic is evaluated.
/// Note, the nuisance parameters are floating in the fits.  For each point,
/// the threshold that defines the 95% acceptance region is found.  This
/// forms a "Confidence Belt".
///
/// After constructing the confidence belt, one can find the confidence
/// interval for any particular dataset by finding the intersection
/// of the observed test statistic and the confidence belt.  First
/// this is done on the observed data to get an observed 1-sided upper limt.
///
/// Finally, there expected limit and bands (from background-only) are
/// formed by generating background-only data and finding the upper limit.
/// This is done by hand for now, will later be part of the RooStats tools.
///
/// On a technical note, this technique is NOT the Feldman-Cousins technique,
/// because that is a 2-sided interval BY DEFINITION.  However, like the
/// Feldman-Cousins technique this is a Neyman-Construction.  For technical
/// reasons the easiest way to implement this right now is to use the
/// FeldmanCousins tool and then change the test statistic that it is using.
///
/// Building the confidence belt can be computationally expensive.  Once it is built,
/// one could save it to a file and use it in a separate step.
///
/// We can use PROOF to speed things along in parallel, however,
/// the test statistic has to be installed on the workers
/// so either turn off PROOF or include the modified test statistic
/// in your `$ROOTSYS/roofit/roostats/inc` directory,
/// add the additional line to the LinkDef.h file,
/// and recompile root.
///
/// Note, if you have a boundary on the parameter of interest (eg. cross-section)
/// the threshold on the one-sided test statistic starts off very small because we
/// are only including downward fluctuations.  You can see the threshold in these printouts:
/// ~~~{.cpp}
/// [#0] PROGRESS:Generation -- generated toys: 500 / 999
/// NeymanConstruction: Prog: 12/50 total MC = 39 this test stat = 0
///  SigXsecOverSM=0.69 alpha_syst1=0.136515 alpha_syst3=0.425415 beta_syst2=1.08496 [-1e+30, 0.011215]  in interval = 1
/// ~~~
/// this tells you the values of the parameters being used to generate the pseudo-experiments
/// and the threshold in this case is 0.011215.  One would expect for 95% that the threshold
/// would be ~1.35 once the cross-section is far enough away from 0 that it is essentially
/// unaffected by the boundary.  As one reaches the last points in the scan, the
/// theshold starts to get artificially high.  This is because the range of the parameter in
/// the fit is the same as the range in the scan.  In the future, these should be independently
/// controlled, but they are not now.  As a result the ~50% of pseudo-experiments that have an
/// upward fluctuation end up with muhat = muMax.  Because of this, the upper range of the
/// parameter should be well above the expected upper limit... but not too high or one will
/// need a very large value of nPointsToScan to resolve the relevant region.  This can be
/// improved, but this is the first version of this script.
///
/// Important note: when the model includes external constraint terms, like a Gaussian
/// constraint to a nuisance parameter centered around some nominal value there is
/// a subtlety.  The asymptotic results are all based on the assumption that all the
/// measurements fluctuate... including the nominal values from auxiliary measurements.
/// If these do not fluctuate, this corresponds to an "conditional ensemble".  The
/// result is that the distribution of the test statistic can become very non-chi^2.
/// This results in thresholds that become very large. This can be seen in the following
/// thought experiment.  Say the model is
/// \f$ Pois(N | s + b)G(b0|b,sigma) \f$
/// where \f$ G(b0|b,sigma) \f$ is the external constraint and b0 is 100.  If N is also 100
/// then the profiled value of b given s is going to be some trade off between 100-s and b0.
/// If sigma is \f$ \sqrt(N) \f$, then the profiled value of b is probably 100 - s/2   So for
/// s=60 we are going to have a profiled value of b~70.  Now when we generate pseudo-experiments
/// for s=60, b=70 we will have N~130 and the average shat will be 30, not 60.  In practice,
/// this is only an issue for values of s that are very excluded.  For values of s near the 95%
/// limit this should not be a big effect.  This can be avoided if the nominal values of the constraints also fluctuate,
/// but that requires that those parameters are RooRealVars in the model.
/// This version does not deal with this issue, but it will be addressed in a future version.
