/* Example of a Landau fit:
 * ------------------------
 * UnbinnedLikelihoodFit myfit;
 * double x[4] = {89,110,70,80};
 * myfit.setData(4,x);
 * TF1* myfunction = new TF1("myLandau","TMath::Landau(x,[0],[1],1)",0,255);
 * myfunction->SetParameters(100,10);
 * myfit.setFunction(myfunction);
 * myfit.fit();
 * myfit.getFunction()->Print();
 * double MPV = myfit.getFunction()->GetParameter(0);
 * double MPVerror = myfit.getFunction()->GetParError(0);
