5 * Project: TMVA - a Root-integrated toolkit for multivariate data analysis *
6 * Package: TMVA *
7 * Class : GiniIndex *
8 * *
9 * *
10 * Description: Implementation of the GiniIndex as separation criterion *
11 * Large Gini Indices (maximum 0.5) mean , that the sample is well *
12 * mixed (same amount of signal and bkg) *
13 * bkg. Small Indices mean, well separated. *
14 * general definition: *
15 * Gini(Sample M) = 1 - (c(1)/N)^2 - (c(2)/N)^2 .... - (c(k)/N)^2 *
16 * Where: M is a sample of whatever N elements (events) *
17 * that belong to K different classes *
18 * c(k) is the number of elements that belong to class k *
19 * for just Signal and Background classes this boils down to: *
20 * Gini(Sample) = 2s*b/(s+b)^2 *
