/** \class ParamHistFunc
 * \ingroup HistFactory
 *   A class which maps the current values of a RooRealVar
 *  (or a set of RooRealVars) to one of a number of RooAbsReal
 *  (nominally RooRealVar):
 *
 *  `ParamHistFunc: {val1, val2, ...} -> {gamma (RooRealVar)}`
 *
 *  The intended interpretation is that each parameter in the
 *  range represent the height of a bin over the domain
 *  space.
 *
 *  The 'createParamSet' is an easy way to create these
 *  parameters from a set of observables. They are
 *  stored using the "TH1" ordering convention (as compared
 *  to the RooDataHist convention, which is used internally
 *  and one must map between the two).
 *
 *  All indices include '0':<br>
 *  \f$ \gamma_{i,j} \f$ = `paramSet[ size(i)*j + i ]`
 *
 *  ie assuming the dimensions are 5*5:<br>
 *  \f$ \gamma_{2,1} \f$ = `paramSet[ 5*1 + 2 ] = paramSet[7]`
