38// Large Gini Indices (maximum 0.5) mean , that the sample is well //
39// mixed (same amount of signal and bkg) //
40// bkg. Small Indices mean, well separated. //
41// general definition: //
42// Gini(Sample M) = 1 - (c(1)/N)^2 - (c(2)/N)^2 .... - (c(k)/N)^2 //
43// Where: M is a sample of whatever N elements (events) //
44// that belong to K different classes //
45// c(k) is the number of elements that belong to class k //
46// for just Signal and Background classes this boils down to: //
47// The Laplace's correction to the probability distribution would //
48// turn the c(1)/N into (c(1)+1)/(N+2) //
49// using this the simple Gini Index for two classes //
50// Gini(Sample) = 2s*b/(s+b)^2 //
51// turns into //
52// GiniLaplace(Sample) = 2(s*b+s+b+1)/(s+b+2)^2 //
