+// of the relevant parameter(s) contained in an object of type MH3. The filter
+// will return true or false in each event such that the final distribution
+// of the parameter(s) for the events surviving the filter is the desired one. 
+// The selection of which events are kept in each bin of the parameter(s) is 
+// made at random (obviously the selection probability depends on the 
+// values of the parameters, and is dictated by the input histogram).
