/** \class TUnfoldDensity
\ingroup Unfold
An algorithm to unfold distributions from detector to truth level
 
TUnfoldDensity is used to decompose a measurement y into several sources x,
given the measurement uncertainties, background b and a matrix of migrations A.
The method can be applied to a large number of problems,
where the measured distribution y is a linear superposition
of several Monte Carlo shapes. Beyond such a simple template fit,
TUnfoldDensity has an adjustable regularisation term and also supports an
optional constraint on the total number of events.
Background sources can be specified, with a normalisation constant and
normalisation uncertainty. In addition, variants of the response
matrix may be specified, these are taken to determine systematic
uncertainties. Complex, multidimensional arrangements of signal and
background bins are managed with the help of the class TUnfoldBinning.

### Brief recipe to use TUnfoldSys:
 
  - Set up binning schemes for the truth and measured
distributions. The binning schemes may be coded in the XML language,
for reading use TUnfoldBinningXML.
  - A matrix (truth,reconstructed) is given as a two-dimensional histogram
    as argument to the constructor of TUnfold
  - A vector of measurements is given as one-dimensional histogram using
    the SetInput() method
  - Repeated calls to SubtractBackground() to specify background sources
  - Repeated calls to AddSysError() to specify systematic uncertainties
    - The unfolding is performed
 
    - either once with a fixed parameter tau, method DoUnfold(tau)
    - or multiple times in a scan to determine the best choice of tau,
      method ScanLCurve()
    - or multiple times in a scan to determine the best choice of tau,
      method ScanTau()
 
  - Unfolding results are retrieved using various GetXXX() methods
 
A detailed documentation of the various GetXXX() methods to control
systematic uncertainties is given with the method TUnfoldSys.
 
### Why to use complex binning schemes
 
in literature on unfolding, the "standard" test case is a
one-dimensional distribution without underflow or overflow bins.
The migration matrix is almost diagonal.
 
<b>This "standard" case is rarely realized for real problems.</b>
 
Often one has to deal with multi-dimensional distributions.
In addition, there are underflow and overflow bins
or other background bins, possibly determined with the help of auxiliary
measurements.
 
In TUnfoldDensity, such complex binning schemes are handled with the help
of the class TUnfoldBinning. For both the measurement and the truth
there is a tree structure. The tree nodes may correspond to single
bins (e.g. nuisance parameters) or may hold multi-dimensional distributions.
 
For example, the "measurement" tree could have two leaves, one for
the primary distribution and one for auxiliary measurements.
Similarly, the "truth" tree could have two leaves, one for the
signal and one for the background.
Each of the leaves may then have a multi-dimensional distribution.
 
The class TUnfoldBinning takes care to map all bins of the
"measurement" to a one-dimensional vector y.
Similarly, the "truth" bins are mapped to the vector x.
 
### How to choose the regularisation settings
 
In TUnfoldDensity, two methods are implemented to determine tau**2
 
  1. ScanLcurve()  locate the tau where the L-curve plot has a "kink"
     this function is implemented in the TUnfold class
  2. ScanTau() finds the solution such that some variable
     (e.g. global correlation coefficient) is minimized.
     This function is implemented in the TUnfoldDensity class
 
Each of the algorithms has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The algorithm (1) does not work if the input data are too similar to the
MC prediction. Typical no-go cases of the L-curve scan are:
 
  - the number of measurements is too small (e.g. ny=nx)
  - the input data have no statistical fluctuations
 [identical MC events are used to fill the matrix of migrations
 and the vector y for a "closure test"]
 
The algorithm (2) only works if the variable does have a real minimum
as a function of tau. If global correlations are minimized, the situation
is as follows:
The matrix of migration typically introduces negative correlations.
The area constraint introduces some positive correlation.
Regularisation on the "size" introduces no correlation.
Regularisation on 1st or 2nd derivatives adds positive correlations.
 
For these reasons, "size" regularisation does not work well with
the tau-scan: the higher tau, the smaller rho, but there is no minimum.
As a result, large values of tau (too strong regularisation) are found.
In contrast, the tau-scan is expected to work better with 1st or 2nd
derivative regularisation, because at some point the negative
correlations from migrations are approximately cancelled by the
positive correlations from the regularisation conditions.
 
whichever algorithm is used, the output has to be checked:
 
  1. The L-curve should have approximate L-shape
     and the final choice of tau should not be at the very edge of the
     scanned region
  2. The scan result should have a well-defined minimum and the
     final choice of tau should sit right in the minimum
