5 * Project: TMVA - a Root-integrated toolkit for multivariate data analysis *
6 * Package: TMVA *
7 * Class : RegressionVariance *
8 * Web : http://tmva.sourceforge.net *
9 * *
10 * Description: Calculate the separation criteria used in regression *
11 * *
12 * There are two things: the Separation Index, and the Separation Gain *
13 * Separation Index: *
14 * Measure of the "Variance" of a sample. *
15 * *
16 * Separation Gain: *
17 * the measure of how the quality of separation of the sample increases *
18 * by splitting the sample e.g. into a "left-node" and a "right-node" *
19 * (N * Index_parent) - (N_left * Index_left) - (N_right * Index_right) *
20 * this is then the quality criteria which is optimized for when trying *
21 * to increase the information in the system (making the best selection *
