//
//  TRolke implements the following Models
//  =======================================
//
//  The signal is always assumed to be Poisson, with the following
//  combinations of models of background and detection efficiency:
//
//  If unsure, first consider model 3, 4 or 5.
//
//       1: SetPoissonBkgBinomEff(x,y,z,tau,m)
//
//          Background: Poisson
//          Efficiency: Binomial    
//
//          when the background is simultaneously measured 
//          from sidebands (or MC), and
//          the signal efficiency was determined from Monte Carlo 
//
//       2: SetPoissonBkgGaussEff(x,y,em,sde,tau)
//
//          Background: Poisson
//          Efficiency: Gaussian    
//
//          when the background is simultaneously measured 
//          from sidebands (or MC), and
//          the efficiency is modeled as Gaussian
//
//       3: SetGaussBkgGaussEff(x,bm,em,sde,sdb)
//
//          Background: Gaussian
//          Efficiency: Gaussian    
//
//          when background and efficiency can both be
//          modeled as Gaussian.
//
//       4: SetPoissonBkgKnownEff(x,y,tau,e)
//
//          Background: Poisson
//          Efficiency: Known     
//
//          when the background is simultaneously measured 
//          from sidebands (or MC).
//
//       5: SetGaussBkgKnownEff(x,bm,sdb,e)
//
//          Background: Gaussian
//          Efficiency: Known       
//
//          when background is Gaussian
//
//       6: SetKnownBkgBinomEff(x,z,b,m)
//
//          Background: Known    
//          Efficiency: Binomial    
//
//          when signal efficiency was determined from Monte Carlo 
//
//       7: SetKnownBkgGaussEff(x,em,sde,b)
//
//          Background: Known    
//          Efficiency: Gaussian     
//
//          when background is known and efficiency Gaussian
//
//  Parameters and further explanation
//  ==================================
//
//  For all models:
//  ---------------
//    
//    x = number of observed events in the experiment
//    
//    Efficiency (e or em) is the detection probability for signal. 
//    A low efficiency hence generally means weaker limits.
//    If the efficiency of an experiment (with analysis cuts) is 
//    dealt with elsewhere, em or e can be set to one.
//
//  For Poisson background measurements (sideband or MC):
//  -----------------------------------------------------
//
//    y = number of observed events in background region
//    tau = 
//        Either: the ratio between signal and background region
//        in case background is observed. 
//        Or: the ratio between observed and simulated live-time
//        in case background is determined from MC.
//
//  For Gaussian efficiency or background:
//  --------------------------------------
//
//    bm  = estimate of the background
//    sdb = corresponding standard deviation 
//
//    em  = estimate of the efficiency
//    sde = corresponding standard deviation 
//
//        If the efficiency scale of dealt with elsewhere,
//        set em to 1 and sde to the relative uncertainty.
//
//  For Binomial signal efficiency:
//  -------------------------------
//
//     m = number of MC events generated
//     z = number of MC events observed
//
//  For the case of known background expectation or known efficiency:
//  -----------------------------------------------------------------
//
//     e = true efficiency (considered known)
//     b = background expectation value (considered known)
//
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
//
//
//  The confidence level (CL) is set either at construction
//  time or with either of SetCL or SetCLSigmas
//
//  The TRolke method is very similar to the one used in MINUIT (MINOS).
//
//  Two options are offered to deal with cases where the maximum likelihood
//  estimate (MLE) is not in the physical region. Version "bounded likelihood"
//  is the one used by MINOS if bounds for the physical region are chosen. 
//  Unbounded likelihood (the default) allows the MLE to be in the
//  unphysical region. It has however better coverage.
//  For more details consult the reference (see below).
//
//  For a description of the method and its properties:
//
//  W.Rolke, A. Lopez, J. Conrad and Fred James
//  "Limits and Confidence Intervals in presence of nuisance parameters"
//   http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0403059
//   Nucl.Instrum.Meth.A551:493-503,2005
//
//  Should I use TRolke, TFeldmanCousins, TLimit?
//  ----------------------------------------------
//
//  1. Does TRolke make TFeldmanCousins obsolete?
//
//  Certainly not. TFeldmanCousins is the fully frequentist construction and
//  should be used in case of no (or negligible) uncertainties. It is however
//  not capable of treating uncertainties in nuisance parameters. In other
//  words, it does not handle background expectations or signal efficiencies
//  which are known only with some limited accuracy.
//
//  TRolke is designed for this case and it is shown in the reference above
//  that it has good coverage properties for most cases, and can be used
//  where FeldmannCousins can't.
//
//  2. What are the advantages of TRolke over TLimit?
//
//  TRolke is fully frequentist. TLimit treats nuisance parameters Bayesian.
//
//  For a coverage study of a Bayesian method refer to
//  physics/0408039 (Tegenfeldt & J.C). However, this note studies
//  the coverage of Feldman&Cousins with Bayesian treatment of nuisance
//  parameters. To make a long story short: using the Bayesian method you
//  might introduce a small amount of over-coverage (though I haven't shown it
//  for TLimit). On the other hand, coverage of course is a not so interesting
//  when you consider yourself a Bayesian.
