/**
\class TKDTreeBinning
<- TKDTreeBinning - A class providing multidimensional binning ->
 
The class implements multidimensional binning by constructing a TKDTree inner structure from the
data which is used as the bins.
The bins are retrieved as two double*, one for the minimum bin edges,
the other as the maximum bin edges. For one dimension one of these is enough to correctly define the bins.
For the multidimensional case both minimum and maximum ones are necessary for the bins to be well defined.
The bin edges of d-dimensional data is a d-tet of the bin's thresholds. For example if d=3 the minimum bin
edges of bin b is of the form of the following array: {xbmin, ybmin, zbmin}.
You also have the possibility to sort the bins by their density.
 
Details of usage can be found in `$ROOTSYS/tutorials/math/kdTreeBinning.C` and more information on
the embedded TKDTree documentation.
