Binned and unbinned PDF methods

There are essentially three important methods: pdf, normalization and get_yield().

  • normalization is the integral over the unnormalized pdf
  • any method starting with "ext" (which stands for "extended") implies that this takes the yield into account.

So for example: ext_pdf means this is 1) the pdf function shape 2) divided by the normalization and 3) multiplied by the yield

pdf(x, norm=False) / normalization(norm) * yield

which is equivalent to pdf(x, norm=False) / ext_normalization
