/** \class TProfile
    \ingroup Hist
 Profile Histogram.
 Profile histograms are used to display the mean
 value of Y and its error for each bin in X. The displayed error is by default the
 standard error on the mean (i.e. the standard deviation divided by the sqrt(n) )
 Profile histograms are in many cases an
 elegant replacement of two-dimensional histograms : the inter-relation of two
 measured quantities X and Y can always be visualized by a two-dimensional
 histogram or scatter-plot; its representation on the line-printer is not particularly
 satisfactory, except for sparse data. If Y is an unknown (but single-valued)
 approximate function of X, this function is displayed by a profile histogram with
 much better precision than by a scatter-plot.

 The following formulae show the cumulated contents (capital letters) and the values
 displayed by the printing or plotting routines (small letters) of the elements for bin J.

                                                   2
       H(J)  =  sum Y                  E(J)  =  sum Y
       l(J)  =  sum l                  L(J)  =  sum l
       h(J)  =  H(J)/L(J)                     mean of Y,
       s(J)  =  sqrt(E(J)/L(J)- h(J)**2)      standard deviation of Y  (e.g. RMS)
       e(J)  =  s(J)/sqrt(L(J))               standard error on the mean

 The displayed bin content for bin J of a TProfile is always h(J). The corresponding bin error is by default
 e(J). In case the option "s" is used (in the constructor or by calling TProfile::BuildOptions)
 the displayed error is  s(J)

 In the special case where s(J) is zero (eg, case of 1 entry only in one bin)
 the bin error e(J) is computed from the average of the s(J) for all bins if
 the static function TProfile::Approximate has been called.
 This simple/crude approximation was suggested in order to keep the bin
 during a fit operation. But note that this approximation is not the default behaviour.
  See also TProfile::BuildOptions for other error options and more detailed explanations

///   As a result, these bins had huge errors. The reason is that the
///   expression eprim2 is very close to 0 (rounding problems) or 0.
///  - in version 3.00 (18 Dec 2000), the algorithm is protected for values of
///   eprim2 very small and the bin errors set to the average bin errors, following
///   recommendations from a group of users.
///  - in version 3.01 (19 Apr 2001), it is realized that the algorithm above
///   should be applied only to low statistic bins.
///  - in version 3.02 (26 Sep 2001), the same group of users recommend instead
///   to take two times the average error on all bins for these low
///   statistics bins giving a very small value for eprim2.
///  - in version 3.04 (Nov 2002), the algorithm is modified/protected for the case
///   when a TProfile is projected (ProjectionX). The previous algorithm
///   generated a N^2 problem when projecting a TProfile with a large number of
///   bins (eg 100000).
///  - in version 3.05/06, a new static function TProfile::Approximate
