//
//  MHGausEvents
//
//  A base class for events which are believed to follow a Gaussian distribution 
//  with time, e.g. calibration events, observables containing white noise, ...
//
//  MHGausEvents derives from MH, thus all features of MH can be used by a class 
//  deriving from MHGausEvents, especially the filling functions. 
//
//  The central objects are: 
//
//  1) The TH1F fHGausHist: 
//     ====================
//   
//     It is created with a default name and title and resides in directory NULL.
//     - Any class deriving from MHGausEvents needs to apply a binning to fHGausHist
//       (e.g. by setting the variables fNbins, fFirst, fLast and calling the function 
//       InitBins() or by directly calling fHGausHist.SetBins(..) )
//     - The histogram is filled with the functions FillHist() or FillHistAndArray(). 
//     - The histogram can be fitted with the function FitGaus(). This involves stripping 
//       of all zeros at the lower and upper end of the histogram and re-binning to 
//       a new number of bins, specified in the variable fBinsAfterStripping.      
//     - The fit result's probability is compared to a reference probability fProbLimit
//       The NDF is compared to fNDFLimit and a check is made whether results are NaNs. 
//       Accordingly, a flag IsGausFitOK() is set.
//     - One can repeat the fit within a given amount of sigmas from the previous mean 
//       (specified by the variables fPickupLimit and fBlackoutLimit) with the function RepeatFit()
// 
//  2) The TArrayF fEvents:
//     ==========================
// 
//     It is created with 0 entries and not expanded unless FillArray() or FillHistAndArray()
//     are called.
//     - A first call to FillArray() or FillHistAndArray() initializes fEvents by default 
//       to 512 entries. 
//     - Any later call to FillArray() or FillHistAndArray() fills up the array. 
//       Reaching the limit, the array is expanded by a factor 2.
//     - The array can be fourier-transformed into the array fPowerSpectrum. 
//       Note that any FFT accepts only number of events which are a power of 2. 
//       Thus, fEvents is cut to the next power of 2 smaller than its actual number of entries. 
//       Be aware that you might lose information at the end of your analysis. 
//     - Calling the function CreateFourierSpectrum() creates the array fPowerSpectrum 
//       and its projection fHPowerProbability which in turn is fit to an exponential. 
//     - The fit result's probability is compared to a referenc probability fProbLimit 
//       and accordingly the flag IsExpFitOK() is set.
//     - The flag IsFourierSpectrumOK() is set accordingly to IsExpFitOK(). 
//       Later, a closer check will be installed. 
//     - You can display all arrays by calls to: CreateGraphEvents() and 
//       CreateGraphPowerSpectrum() and successive calls to the corresponding Getters.
//
// To see an example, have a look at: Draw()
