\ingroup Roofitcore
 
RooPullVar represents the pull of a measurement w.r.t. the true value
using the measurement and its error. Both the true value and
the measured value (with error) are taken from two user-supplied
RooRealVars. If the measured parameter has an asymmetric error, the proper
side of that error will be used:
\f[
 \mathrm{Pull}_x = \frac{x_\mathrm{meas}-x_\mathrm{true}}{\Delta_x}
\f]
