## Class Description

const RooHistError& instance()

     Return a reference to a singleton object that is created the
     first time this method is called. Only one object will be
     constructed per ROOT session.

RooHistError()

     Construct our singleton object.

Bool_t getPoissonInterval(Int_t n, Double_t &mu1, Double_t &mu2, Double_t nSigma) const

     Use lookup table for most common cases

Bool_t getPoissonIntervalCalc(Int_t n, Double_t &mu1, Double_t &mu2, Double_t nSigma) const

     Calculate a confidence interval for the expected number of events given n
     observed (unweighted) events. The interval will contain the same probability
     as nSigma of a Gaussian. Uses a central interval unless this does not enclose
     the point estimate n (ie, for small n) in which case the interval is adjusted
     to start at n.

Bool_t getBinomialInterval(Int_t n, Int_t m, Double_t &asym1, Double_t &asym2, Double_t nSigma) const

     sanity checks

Bool_t getInterval(const RooAbsFunc *Qu, const RooAbsFunc *Ql, Double_t pointEstimate, Double_t stepSize, Double_t &lo, Double_t &hi, Double_t nSigma) const

     Calculate a confidence interval using the cummulative functions provided.
     The interval will be "central" when both cummulative functions are provided,
     unless this would exclude the pointEstimate, in which case a one-sided interval
     pinned at the point estimate is returned instead.

Double_t seek(const RooAbsFunc &f, Double_t startAt, Double_t step, Double_t value) const

     Scan f(x)-value until it changes sign. Start at the specified point and take constant
     steps of the specified size. Give up after 1000 steps.
