/** \class RooBernstein
    \ingroup Roofit
 
Bernstein basis polynomials are positive-definite in the range [0,1].
In this implementation, we extend [0,1] to be the range of the parameter.
There are n+1 Bernstein basis polynomials of degree n:
\f[
 B_{i,n}(x) = \begin{pmatrix}n \\\ i \end{pmatrix} x^i \cdot (1-x)^{n-i}
\f]
Thus, by providing n coefficients that are positive-definite, there
is a natural way to have well-behaved polynomial PDFs. For any n, the n+1 polynomials
'form a partition of unity', i.e., they sum to one for all values of x.
They can be used as a basis to span the space of polynomials with degree n or less:
\f[
 PDF(x, c_0, ..., c_n) = \mathcal{N} \cdot \sum_{i=0}^{n} c_i \cdot B_{i,n}(x).
\f]
By giving n+1 coefficients in the constructor, this class constructs the n+1
polynomials of degree n, and sums them to form an element of the space of polynomials
of degree n. \f$ \mathcal{N} \f$ is a normalisation constant that takes care of the
cases where the \f$ c_i \f$ are not all equal to one.
