Double_t GetSeparationGain(const Double_t& nLeft, const Double_t& targetLeft, const Double_t& target2Left, const Double_t& nTot, const Double_t& targetTot, const Double_t& target2Tot)
 Separation Gain:
 the measure of how the quality of separation of the sample increases
 by splitting the sample e.g. into a "left-node" and a "right-node"
 (N * Index_parent) - (N_left * Index_left) - (N_right * Index_right)
 this is then the quality crition which is optimized for when trying
 to increase the information in the system
 for the Regression: as the "Gain is maximised", the RMS (sqrt(variance))
 which is used as a "separation" index should be as small as possible.
 the "figure of merit" here has to be -(rms left+rms-right) or 1/rms...
Double_t GetSeparationIndex(const Double_t& n, const Double_t& target, const Double_t& target2)
