Detailed Description

Extended maximum likelihood fit in multiple ranges.

# Setup component pdfs
# ---------------------
 
# Declare observable x

# -----------------------------

# Use AddPdf to extend the model. Giving as many coefficients as pdfs switches on extension.

#  -------------------------------------------

# IMPORTANT:
# The model needs to be copied when fitting with different ranges because
# the interpretation of the coefficients is tied to the fit range
# that's used in the first fit
