\class RooMCStudy
\ingroup Roofitcore
 
RooMCStudy is a helper class to facilitate Monte Carlo studies
such as 'goodness-of-fit' studies, that involve fitting a PDF 
to multiple toy Monte Carlo sets. These may be generated from either same PDF
or from a different PDF with similar parameters.
 
Given a fit and a generator PDF (they might be identical), RooMCStudy can produce
toyMC samples and/or fit these.
It accumulates the post-fit parameters of each iteration in a dataset. These can be
retrieved using fitParams() or fitParDataSet(). This dataset additionally contains the
variables
- NLL: The value of the negative log-likelihood for each run.
- ngen: The number of events generated for each run.
 
Additional plotting routines simplify the task of plotting
the distribution of the minimized likelihood, the fitted parameter values,
fitted error and pull distribution.
 
RooMCStudy provides the option to insert add-in modules
that modify the generate-and-fit cycle and allow to perform
extra steps in the cycle. Output of these modules can be stored
alongside the fit results in the aggregate results dataset.
These study modules should derive from the class RooAbsMCStudyModule.
 
Check the RooFit tutorials
- rf801_mcstudy.C
- rf802_mcstudy_addons.C
- rf803_mcstudy_addons2.C
- rf804_mcstudy_constr.C
for usage examples.

\param[in] model The PDF to be studied
\param[in] observables The variables of the PDF to be considered observables
\param[in] argX Arguments from the table below
 
<table>
<tr><th> Optional arguments <th>
<tr><td> Silence()                         <td> Suppress all RooFit messages during running below PROGRESS level
<tr><td> FitModel(const RooAbsPdf&)        <td> The PDF for fitting if it is different from the PDF for generating.
<tr><td> ConditionalObservables(const RooArgSet& set)  <td> The set of observables that the PDF should _not_ be normalized over
<tr><td> Binned(Bool_t flag)               <td> Bin the dataset before fitting it. Speeds up fitting of large data samples
<tr><td> FitOptions(const char*)           <td> Classic fit options, provided for backward compatibility
<tr><td> FitOptions(....)                  <td> Options to be used for fitting. All named arguments inside FitOptions() are passed to RooAbsPdf::fitTo().
                                                `Save()` is especially interesting to be able to retrieve fit results of each run using fitResult().
<tr><td> Verbose(Bool_t flag)              <td> Activate informational messages in event generation phase
<tr><td> Extended(Bool_t flag)             <td> Determine number of events for each sample anew from a Poisson distribution
<tr><td> Constrain(const RooArgSet& pars)  <td> Apply internal constraints on given parameters in fit and sample constrained parameter values from constraint p.d.f for each toy.

<tr><td> ProtoData(const RooDataSet&, Bool_t randOrder)
         <td> Prototype data for the event generation. If the randOrder flag is set, the order of the dataset will be re-randomized for each generation
              cycle to protect against systematic biases if the number of generated events does not exactly match the number of events in the prototype dataset
              at the cost of reduced precision with mu equal to the specified number of events
