/** \class RooStats::RatioOfProfiledLikelihoodsTestStat
    \ingroup Roostats
 
TestStatistic that returns the ratio of profiled likelihoods.
 
By default the calculation is:
 
\f[
        \log{    \frac{ \lambda(\mu_{alt}  , {conditional \: MLE \: for \: alt  \: nuisance}) }
                      { \lambda(\mu_{null} , {conditional \: MLE \: for \: null \: nuisance}) } }
\f]
 
where \f$ \lambda \f$ is the profile likelihood ratio, so the
MLE for the null and alternate are subtracted off.
 
If `SetSubtractMLE(false)` then it calculates:
 
\f[
        \log{    \frac{ L(\mu_{alt}  , {conditional \: MLE \: for \: alt  \: nuisance}) }
                      { L(\mu_{null} , {conditional \: MLE \: for \: null \: nuisance}) } }
\f]
 
where \f$ L \f$ is the Likelihood function.
 
The values of the parameters of interest for the alternative
hypothesis are taken at the time of the construction.
If empty, it treats all free parameters as nuisance parameters.
 
The value of the parameters of interest for the null hypotheses
are given at each call of Evaluate.
 
This test statistic is often called the Tevatron test statistic, because it has
been used by the Tevatron experiments.
