/*! \class TMVA::MethodBase
\ingroup TMVA
 
   Virtual base Class for all MVA method
 
   MethodBase hosts several specific evaluation methods.
 
   The kind of MVA that provides optimal performance in an analysis strongly
   depends on the particular application. The evaluation factory provides a
   number of numerical benchmark results to directly assess the performance
   of the MVA training on the independent test sample. These are:
 
  - The _signal efficiency_ at three representative background efficiencies
    (which is 1 &minus; rejection).
  - The _significance_ of an MVA estimator, defined by the difference
    between the MVA mean values for signal and background, divided by the
    quadratic sum of their root mean squares.
  - The _separation_ of an MVA _x_, defined by the integral
    \f[
    \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{(S(x) - B(x))^2}{(S(x) + B(x))} dx
    \f]
    where
    \f$ S(x) \f$ and \f$ B(x) \f$ are the signal and background distributions,
    respectively. The separation is zero for identical signal and background MVA
    shapes, and it is one for disjunctive shapes.
  - The average, \f$ \int x \mu (S(x)) dx \f$, of the signal \f$ \mu_{transform} \f$.
    The \f$ \mu_{transform} \f$ of an MVA denotes the transformation that yields
    a uniform background distribution. In this way, the signal distributions
    \f$ S(x) \f$ can be directly compared among the various MVAs. The stronger
    \f$ S(x) \f$ peaks towards one, the better is the discrimination of the MVA.
    The \f$ \mu_{transform} \f$  is
   [documented here](http://tel.ccsd.cnrs.fr/documents/archives0/00/00/29/91/index_fr.html).
 
   The MVA standard output also prints the linear correlation coefficients between
   signal and background, which can be useful to eliminate variables that exhibit too
   strong correlations.
