# Visualize 1-sigma error encoded in fit result 'r' as orange band using linear error propagation
# ROOT.This results in an error band that is by construction symmetric
#
# The linear error is calculated as
# error(x) = Z* F_a(x) * Corr(a,a') F_a'(x)
#
# where F_a(x) = [ f(x,a+da) - f(x,a-da) ] / 2,
#
# with f(x) = the plotted curve
# 'da' = error taken from the fit result
# Corr(a,a') = the correlation matrix from the fit result
# Z = requested significance 'Z sigma band'
#
# The linear method is fast (required 2*N evaluations of the curve, N is the number of parameters),
# but may not be accurate in the presence of strong correlations (~>0.9) and at Z>2 due to linear and
# Gaussian approximations made
#

# Calculate error using sampling method and visualize as dashed red line.
#
# In self method a number of curves is calculated with variations of the parameter values, sampled
# from a multi-variate Gaussian p.d.f. that is constructed from the fit results covariance matrix.
# The error(x) is determined by calculating a central interval that capture N% of the variations
# for each valye of x, N% is controlled by Z (i.e. Z=1 gives N=68%). The number of sampling curves
# is chosen to be such that at least 100 curves are expected to be outside the N% interval, is minimally
# 100 (e.g. Z=1.Ncurve=356, Z=2.Ncurve=2156)) Intervals from the sampling method can be asymmetric,
# and may perform better in the presence of strong correlations, may take
# (much) longer to calculate
