This is a package that creates a RooFit probability density function from ROOT histograms of expected distributions and histograms that represent the +/- 1 sigma variations from systematic effects. The resulting probability density function can then be used with any of the statistical tools provided within RooStats, such as the profile likelihood ratio, Feldman-Cousins, etc. In this version, the model is directly fed to a likelihodo ratio test, but it needs to be further factorized.

The user needs to provide histograms (in picobarns per bin) and configure the job with XML. The configuration XML is defined in the file config/Config.dtd, but essentially it is organized as follows (see config/Combination.xml and config/ee.xml for examples)
