// BEGIN_HTML
// RooDLLSignificanceMCSModule is an add-on modules to RooMCStudy that
// calculates the significance of a signal by comparing the likelihood of
// a fit fit with a given parameter floating with a fit with that given
// parameter fixed to a nominal value (usually zero). The difference in
// the -log(L) of those two fits can be interpreted as the probability
// that a statistical background fluctation may result in a signal as large
// or larger than the signal observed. This interpretation is contingent
// on underlying normal sampling distributions and a MC study is a good way
// to test that assumption.
