// BEGIN_HTML
// RooMCStudy is a help class to facilitate Monte Carlo studies
// such as 'goodness-of-fit' studies, that involve fitting a PDF 
// to multiple toy Monte Carlo sets generated from the same PDF 
// or another PDF.
// <p>
// Given a fit PDF and a generator PDF, RooMCStudy can produce
// large numbers of toyMC samples and/or fit these samples
// and acculumate the final parameters of each fit in a dataset.
// <p>
// Additional plotting routines simplify the task of plotting
// the distribution of the minimized likelihood, each parameters fitted value, 
// fitted error and pull distribution.
// <p>
// Class 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 classs RooAbsMCStudyModel
//
