//
// The  Step Function is a binned function whose parameters 
// are the heights of each bin.  
// 
// This function may be used to describe oddly shaped distributions. A RooStepFunction
// has free parameters. In particular, any statistical uncertainty 
// used to model this efficiency may be understood with these free parameters.
//
// Note that in contrast to RooParametricStepFunction, a RooStepFunction is NOT a PDF,
// but a not-normalized function (RooAbsReal)
//
