 * Description:                                                                   *
 *      Likelihood analysis ("non-parametric approach")                           *
 *      Also implemented is a "diagonalized likelihood approach",                 *
 *      which improves over the uncorrelated likelihood ansatz by transforming    *
 *      linearly the input variables into a diagonal space, using the square-root *
 *      of the covariance matrix. This approach can be chosen by inserting        *
 *      the letter "D" into the option string.                                    *
