 *      H-Matrix method, which is implemented as a simple comparison of           *
 *      chi-squared estimators for signal and background, taking into account     *
 *      the linear correlations between the input variables.                      *
 *      Method is (also) used by D0 Collaboration (FNAL) for electron             *
