 *      The Probability Density Functions (PDFs) used for the Likelihood analysis *
 *      can suffer from low statistics of the training samples. This can couse    *
 *      the PDFs to fluctuate instead to be smooth. Nonparamatric Kernel Density  *
 *      Estimation is one of the methods to produse "smooth" PDFs.                *
 *                                                                                *
