 This implementation (thanks Kevin Lynch <krlynch@bu.edu>) is protected
 against possible overflows.
Double_t Poisson(Double_t x, Double_t par)
 compute the Poisson distribution function for (x,par)
 The Poisson PDF is implemented by means of Euler's Gamma-function
 (for the factorial), so for any x integer argument it is correct.
 BUT for non-integer x values, it IS NOT equal to the Poisson distribution.
 see TMath::PoissonI to get a non-smooth function.
 Note that for large values of par, it is better to call
     TMath::Gaus(x,par,sqrt(par),kTRUE)

/* */
Double_t PoissonI(Double_t x, Double_t par)
 compute the Poisson distribution function for (x,par)
 This is a non-smooth function.
 This function is equivalent to ROOT::Math::poisson_pdf

/* */
Double_t Prob(Double_t chi2, Int_t ndf)
 Computation of the probability for a certain Chi-squared (chi2)
 and number of degrees of freedom (ndf).

 Calculations are based on the incomplete gamma function P(a,x),
 where a=ndf/2 and x=chi2/2.

 P(a,x) represents the probability that the observed Chi-squared
 for a correct model should be less than the value chi2.

 The returned probability corresponds to 1-P(a,x),
 which denotes the probability that an observed Chi-squared exceeds
 the value chi2 by chance, even for a correct model.

Double_t KolmogorovProb(Double_t z)
 Calculates the Kolmogorov distribution function,

/* */
 which gives the probability that Kolmogorov's test statistic will exceed
 the value z assuming the null hypothesis. This gives a very powerful
 test for comparing two one-dimensional distributions.
 see, for example, Eadie et al, "statistocal Methods in Experimental
 Physics', pp 269-270).

 This function returns the confidence level for the null hypothesis, where:
   z = dn*sqrt(n), and
   dn  is the maximum deviation between a hypothetical distribution
       function and an experimental distribution with
   n    events

 NOTE: To compare two experimental distributions with m and n events,
       use z = sqrt(m*n/(m+n))*dn

 Accuracy: The function is far too accurate for any imaginable application.
           Probabilities less than 10^-15 are returned as zero.
           However, remember that the formula is only valid for "large" n.
 Theta function inversion formula is used for z <= 1

 This function was translated by Rene Brun from PROBKL in CERNLIB.
Double_t KolmogorovTest(Int_t na, const Double_t* a, Int_t nb, const Double_t* b, Option_t* option)
  Statistical test whether two one-dimensional sets of points are compatible
  with coming from the same parent distribution, using the Kolmogorov test.
  That is, it is used to compare two experimental distributions of unbinned data.

  Input:
  a,b: One-dimensional arrays of length na, nb, respectively.
       The elements of a and b must be given in ascending order.
  option is a character string to specify options
         "D" Put out a line of "Debug" printout
         "M" Return the Maximum Kolmogorov distance instead of prob

  Output:
 The returned value prob is a calculated confidence level which gives a
 statistical test for compatibility of a and b.
 Values of prob close to zero are taken as indicating a small probability
 of compatibility. For two point sets drawn randomly from the same parent
 distribution, the value of prob should be uniformly distributed between
 zero and one.
   in case of error the function return -1
   If the 2 sets have a different number of points, the minimum of
   the two sets is used.

 Method:
 The Kolmogorov test is used. The test statistic is the maximum deviation
 between the two integrated distribution functions, multiplied by the
 normalizing factor (rdmax*sqrt(na*nb/(na+nb)).

  Code adapted by Rene Brun from CERNLIB routine TKOLMO (Fred James)
   (W.T. Eadie, D. Drijard, F.E. James, M. Roos and B. Sadoulet,
      Statistical Methods in Experimental Physics, (North-Holland,
      Amsterdam 1971) 269-271)

  Method Improvement by Jason A Detwiler (JADetwiler@lbl.gov)

   The nuts-and-bolts of the TMath::KolmogorovTest() algorithm is a for-loop
   over the two sorted arrays a and b representing empirical distribution
   functions. The for-loop handles 3 cases: when the next points to be
   evaluated satisfy a>b, a<b, or a=b:

      for (Int_t i=0;i<na+nb;i++) {
         if (a[ia-1] < b[ib-1]) {
            rdiff -= sa;
            ia++;
            if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
         } else if (a[ia-1] > b[ib-1]) {
            rdiff += sb;
            ib++;
            if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
         } else {
            rdiff += sb - sa;
            ia++;
            ib++;
            if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
            if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
        }
         rdmax = TMath::Max(rdmax,TMath::Abs(rdiff));
      }

   For the last case, a=b, the algorithm advances each array by one index in an
   attempt to move through the equality. However, this is incorrect when one or
   the other of a or b (or both) have a repeated value, call it x. For the KS
   statistic to be computed properly, rdiff needs to be calculated after all of
   the a and b at x have been tallied (this is due to the definition of the
   empirical distribution function; another way to convince yourself that the
   old CERNLIB method is wrong is that it implies that the function defined as the
   difference between a and b is multi-valued at x -- besides being ugly, this
   would invalidate Kolmogorov's theorem).

   The solution is to just add while-loops into the equality-case handling to
   perform the tally:

         } else {
            double x = a[ia-1];
            while(a[ia-1] == x && ia <= na) {
              rdiff -= sa;
              ia++;
            }
            while(b[ib-1] == x && ib <= nb) {
              rdiff += sb;
              ib++;
            }
            if (ia > na) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
            if (ib > nb) {ok = kTRUE; break;}
         }

Double_t Voigt(Double_t x, Double_t sigma, Double_t lg, Int_t r = 4)
 Computation of Voigt function (normalised).
 Voigt is a convolution of
 gauss(xx) = 1/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma) * exp(xx*xx/(2*sigma*sigma)
 and
 lorentz(xx) = (1/pi) * (lg/2) / (xx*xx + lg*lg/4)
 functions.

 The Voigt function is known to be the real part of Faddeeva function also
 called complex error function [2].

 The algoritm was developed by J. Humlicek [1].
 This code is based on fortran code presented by R. J. Wells [2].
 Translated and adapted by Miha D. Puc

 To calculate the Faddeeva function with relative error less than 10^(-r).
 r can be set by the the user subject to the constraints 2 <= r <= 5.

 a == coef[3], b == coef[2], c == coef[1], d == coef[0]
coef[3] must be different from 0
 If the boolean returned by the method is false:
    ==> there are 3 real roots a,b,c
 If the boolean returned by the method is true:
    ==> there is one real root a and 2 complex conjugates roots (b+i*c,b-i*c)

void Quantiles(Int_t n, Int_t nprob, Double_t* x, Double_t* quantiles, Double_t* prob, Bool_t isSorted = kTRUE, Int_t* index = 0, Int_t type = 7)
Computes sample quantiles, corresponding to the given probabilities
Parameters:
  x -the data sample
  n - its size
  quantiles - computed quantiles are returned in there
  prob - probabilities where to compute quantiles
  nprob - size of prob array
  isSorted - is the input array x sorted?
  NOTE, that when the input is not sorted, an array of integers of size n needs
        to be allocated. It can be passed by the user in parameter index,
        or, if not passed, it will be allocated inside the function

  type - method to compute (from 1 to 9). Following types are provided:
  Discontinuous:
    type=1 - inverse of the empirical distribution function
    type=2 - like type 1, but with averaging at discontinuities
    type=3 - SAS definition: nearest even order statistic
  Piecwise linear continuous:
    In this case, sample quantiles can be obtained by linear interpolation
    between the k-th order statistic and p(k).
    type=4 - linear interpolation of empirical cdf, p(k)=k/n;
    type=5 - a very popular definition, p(k) = (k-0.5)/n;
    type=6 - used by Minitab and SPSS, p(k) = k/(n+1);
    type=7 - used by S-Plus and R, p(k) = (k-1)/(n-1);
    type=8 - resulting sample quantiles are approximately median unbiased
             regardless of the distribution of x. p(k) = (k-1/3)/(n+1/3);
    type=9 - resulting sample quantiles are approximately unbiased, when
             the sample comes from Normal distribution. p(k)=(k-3/8)/(n+1/4);

    default type = 7

ULong_t Hash(const void* txt, Int_t ntxt)
 Calculates hash index from any char string.
 Based on precalculated table of 256 specially selected numbers.
 These numbers are selected in such a way, that for string
 length == 4 (integer number) the hash is unambigous, i.e.
 from hash value we can recalculate input (no degeneration).

 The quality of hash method is good enough, that
 "random" numbers made as R = Hash(1), Hash(2), ...Hash(N)
 tested by <R>, <R*R>, <Ri*Ri+1> gives the same result
 as for libc rand().

 For string:  i = TMath::Hash(string,nstring);
 For int:     i = TMath::Hash(&intword,sizeof(int));
 For pointer: i = TMath::Hash(&pointer,sizeof(void*));

Double_t BetaCf(Double_t x, Double_t a, Double_t b)
 Continued fraction evaluation by modified Lentz's method
 used in calculation of incomplete Beta function.
Double_t BetaDist(Double_t x, Double_t p, Double_t q)
 Computes the probability density function of the Beta distribution
 (the distribution function is computed in BetaDistI).
 The first argument is the point, where the function will be
 computed, second and third are the function parameters.
 Since the Beta distribution is bounded on both sides, it's often
 used to represent processes with natural lower and upper limits.
Double_t BetaDistI(Double_t x, Double_t p, Double_t q)
 Computes the distribution function of the Beta distribution.
 The first argument is the point, where the function will be
 computed, second and third are the function parameters.

Double_t Binomial(Int_t n, Int_t k)
 Calculate the binomial coefficient n over k.
Double_t BinomialI(Double_t p, Int_t n, Int_t k)
 Suppose an event occurs with probability _p_ per trial
 Then the probability P of its occuring _k_ or more times
 in _n_ trials is termed a cumulative binomial probability
 the formula is P = sum_from_j=k_to_n(TMath::Binomial(n, j)*
 *TMath::Power(p, j)*TMath::Power(1-p, n-j)
 For _n_ larger than 12 BetaIncomplete is a much better way
 to evaluate the sum than would be the straightforward sum calculation
 for _n_ smaller than 12 either method is acceptable

Double_t CauchyDist(Double_t x, Double_t t = 0, Double_t s = 1)
 Computes the density of Cauchy distribution at point x
 by default, standard Cauchy distribution is used (t=0, s=1)
    t is the location parameter
    s is the scale parameter
 The Cauchy distribution, also called Lorentzian distribution,
 is a continuous distribution describing resonance behavior
 The mean and standard deviation of the Cauchy distribution are undefined.
 The practical meaning of this is that collecting 1,000 data points gives
 no more accurate an estimate of the mean and standard deviation than
 does a single point.
 The formula was taken from "Engineering Statistics Handbook" on site

 Example:
    TF1* fc = new TF1("fc", "TMath::CauchyDist(x, [0], [1])", -5, 5);

    fc->Draw();
Double_t ChisquareQuantile(Double_t p, Double_t ndf)
 Evaluate the quantiles of the chi-squared probability distribution function.
 Algorithm AS 91   Appl. Statist. (1975) Vol.24, P.35
 implemented by Anna Kreshuk.
 Incorporates the suggested changes in AS R85 (vol.40(1), pp.233-5, 1991)
 Parameters:
   p   - the probability value, at which the quantile is computed
   ndf - number of degrees of freedom
Double_t FDist(Double_t F, Double_t N, Double_t M)
 Computes the density function of F-distribution
 (probability function, integral of density, is computed in FDistI).

 Parameters N and M stand for degrees of freedom of chi-squares
 mentioned above parameter F is the actual variable x of the
 density function p(x) and the point at which the density function
 is calculated.

 About F distribution:
 F-distribution arises in testing whether two random samples
 have the same variance. It is the ratio of two chi-square
 distributions, with N and M degrees of freedom respectively,
 where each chi-square is first divided by it's number of degrees
 of freedom.
 Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.
Double_t FDistI(Double_t F, Double_t N, Double_t M)
 Calculates the cumulative distribution function of F-distribution,
 this function occurs in the statistical test of whether two observed
 samples have the same variance. For this test a certain statistic F,
 the ratio of observed dispersion of the first sample to that of the
 second sample, is calculated. N and M stand for numbers of degrees
 of freedom in the samples 1-FDistI() is the significance level at
 which the hypothesis "1 has smaller variance than 2" can be rejected.
 A small numerical value of 1 - FDistI() implies a very significant
 rejection, in turn implying high confidence in the hypothesis
 "1 has variance greater than 2".
 Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.

Bool_t Permute(Int_t n, Int_t* a)
 Simple recursive algorithm to find the permutations of
 n natural numbers, not necessarily all distinct
 adapted from CERNLIB routine PERMU.
 The input array has to be initialised with a non descending
 sequence. The method returns kFALSE when
 all combinations are exhausted.
Double_t Student(Double_t T, Double_t ndf)
 Computes density function for Student's t- distribution
 (the probability function (integral of density) is computed in StudentI).

 First parameter stands for x - the actual variable of the
 density function p(x) and the point at which the density is calculated.
 Second parameter stands for number of degrees of freedom.

 About Student distribution:
 Student's t-distribution is used for many significance tests, for example,
 for the Student's t-tests for the statistical significance of difference
 between two sample means and for confidence intervals for the difference
 between two population means.

 Example: suppose we have a random sample of size n drawn from normal
 distribution with mean Mu and st.deviation Sigma. Then the variable

   t = (sample_mean - Mu)/(sample_deviation / sqrt(n))

 has Student's t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom.

 NOTE that this function's second argument is number of degrees of freedom,
 not the sample size.

 As the number of degrees of freedom grows, t-distribution approaches
 Normal(0,1) distribution.
 Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.
Double_t StudentI(Double_t T, Double_t ndf)
 Calculates the cumulative distribution function of Student's
 t-distribution second parameter stands for number of degrees of freedom,

 x being less than T.
 Implementation by Anna Kreshuk.
Double_t StudentQuantile(Double_t p, Double_t ndf, Bool_t lower_tail = kTRUE)

 2nd argument - the number of degrees of freedom of the
 Student distribution
 When the 3rd argument lower_tail is kTRUE (default)-
 the algorithm returns such x0, that
   P(x < x0)=p
 upper tail (lower_tail is kFALSE)- the algorithm returns such x0, that
   P(x > x0)=p
