class RooStats::ConfInterval: public TNamed
ConfInterval is an interface class for a generic interval in the RooStats framework. Any tool inheriting from IntervalCalculator can return a ConfInterval. There are many types of intervals, they may be a simple range [a,b] in 1 dimension, or they may be disconnected regions in multiple dimensions. So the common interface is simply to ask the interval if a given point "IsInInterval". The Interval also knows what confidence level it was constructed at and the space of parameters for which it was constructed. Note, one could use the same class for a Bayesian "credible interval".

Function documentation

virtual ~ConfInterval()
{}
Bool_t IsInInterval(RooArgSet& )
pure virtual?  where does =0 go with const?
void SetConfidenceLevel(Double_t cl)
 used to set confidence level.  Keep pure virtual
Double_t ConfidenceLevel()
 if so does this implement it?
 private fSize;
RooArgSet* GetParameters()
 do we want it to return list of parameters
Bool_t CheckParameters(RooArgSet& ) const
 check if parameters are correct. (dummy implementation to start)
