//
//  MEventRateCalc
//
//  This task calculates the event rates from the event times and numbers.
//
//  The algorithm is explained in Process()
//
//
//    rate = Number of events / time in which the events were recorded
//       r = N / t
//       s = t / N  = 1 / r    mean time interval between consecutive events
//
//    for an exponential distribution of the time differences d between
//    consecutive events:
//
//       s = <d>
//       sigma(d)     = <d> = s
//       delta(s)     = sigma(d) /sqrt(N) = s / sqrt(N)
//       delta(s) / s = 1 / sqrt(N)
//
//       delta(r) / r = delta(s) / s = 1 / sqrt(N)
//
//
//  In addition the difference between the event time of the current event
//  and the last event is written into a MParameterD calles MTimeDiff.
//
//
//  Input Containers:
//    MTime
//
//  Output Containers:
//    MEventRate
//    MTimeDiff [MParameterD]
//    MTimeRate [MTime] (missing)
//
//  FIXME: For convinience we could implement a mode which always takes
//         n events to calculate the event rate and sets the corresponding
//         time. This mode could be used to UPADTE files with the event
//         rate.
