## Comparison of MCMC and PLC in a multi-variate gaussian problem
##
## This tutorial produces an N-dimensional multivariate Gaussian
## with a non-trivial covariance matrix.  By default N=4 (called "dim").
##
## A subset of these are considered parameters of interest.
## This problem is tractable analytically.
##
## We use this mainly as a test of Markov Chain Monte Carlo
## and we compare the result to the profile likelihood ratio.
##
## We use the proposal helper to create a customized
## proposal function for this problem.
##
## For N=4 and 2 parameters of interest it takes about 10-20 seconds
## and the acceptance rate is 37%

# TODO: The MCMCCalculator has to be destructed first. Otherwise, we can get
# segmentation faults depending on the destruction order, which is random in
# Python. Probably the issue is that some object has a non-owning pointer to
# another object, which it uses in its destructor. This should be fixed either
# in the design of RooStats in C++, or with phythonizations.
