 *
 * Computes the log-likelihood value for the On/Off observation in an energy bin
 * by treating the number of background counts as nuisance parameter. The method
 * performs an analytical minimisation of the Poisson likelihood and updates 
 * the relevant values.
 * In the general case, the log-likelihood function is computed using
 *
 * \f[
 *   L = \mu_s + (1+\alpha) \mu_b - n_{\rm on} - n_{\rm off} -
 *       n_{\rm on} \left( \ln(\mu_s + \alpha \mu_b) - \ln(n_{\rm on})
 *       \right) -
 *       n_{\rm off} \left( \ln(\mu_b) - \ln(n_{\rm off}) \right)
 * \f]
 *
 * where
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_b = \frac{C+D}{2\alpha(1+\alpha)}
 * \f]
 *
 * are the estimated number of background counts with
 *
 * \f[
 *    C = \alpha (n_{\rm on} + n_{\rm off}) - (1 + \alpha) \mu_s
 * \f]
 *
 * and
 *
 * \f[
 *    D = \sqrt{C^2 + 4 (1 + \alpha) \, \alpha \, n_{\rm off} \, \mu_s}
 * \f]
 *
 * \
 *
 * The first derivative of the log-likelihood function is given by
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta L}{\delta \mu_s} =
 *    1 + (1 + \alpha) \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s} -
 *    \frac{n_{\rm on}}{\mu_s + \alpha \mu_b} \left( 1 + \alpha
 *    \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s} \right) -
 *    \frac{n_{\rm off}}{\mu_b} \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s}
 * \f]
 *
 * with
 *

 *    \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s} =
 *    \frac{n_{\rm off} - C}{D} - \frac{1}{2 \alpha}
 * \f]
 *
 * The second derivative of the log-likelihood function is given by
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 L}{\delta \mu_s^2} =
 *    \frac{n_{\rm on}}{(\mu_s + \alpha \mu_b)^2} \left( 1 + \alpha

 *      \frac{\alpha n_{\rm on}}{(\mu_s + \alpha \mu_b)^2} \left(
 *        1 + \alpha \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s} \right) +
 *      \frac{n_{\rm off}}{\mu_b^2} \frac{\delta \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s}
 *      \right)
 * \f]
 *
 * with
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 \mu_b}{\delta \mu_s^2} =
 *    \frac{-1}{2 \alpha} \left(
 *    \frac{1}{D} \frac{\delta C}{\delta \mu_s} +
 *    \frac{2 \alpha \, n_{\rm off} - C}{D^2} \frac{\delta D}{\delta \mu_s}
 *    \right)
 * \f]
 *

 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta C}{\delta \mu_s} = -(1 + \alpha)
 * \f]
 *
 * and
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta D}{\delta \mu_s} =
 *    \frac{4 (1 + \alpha) \, \alpha \, n_{\rm off} - 2 \, C \, (1 + \alpha)}
 *         {2D}
 * \f]
 *
 * In the special case \f$n_{\rm on}=n_{\rm off}=0\f$ the formal
 * background estimate becomes negative, hence we set \f$\mu_b=0\f$ and
 * the log-likelihood function becomes
 *
 * \f[
 *    L = \mu_s
 * \f]
 *
 * the first derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta L}{\delta \mu_s} = 1
 * \f]
 *
 * and the second derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 L}{\delta \mu_s^2} = 0
 * \f]
 *
 * In the special case \f$n_{\rm on}=0\f$ and \f$n_{\rm off}>0\f$
 * the log-likelihood function becomes
 *
 * \f[
 *    L = \mu_s + n_{\rm off} \ln(1 + \alpha)
 * \f]
 *
 * the background estimate
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_b = \frac{n_{\rm off}}{1+\alpha}
 * \f]
 *
 * the first derivative
 *

 * \f]
 *
 * and the second derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 L}{\delta \mu_s^2} = 0
 * \f]
 *
 * In the special case \f$n_{\rm on}>0\f$ and \f$n_{\rm off}=0\f$
 * the background estimate becomes
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_b = \frac{n_{\rm on}}{1+\alpha} - \frac{\mu_s}{\alpha}
 * \f]
 *
 * which is positive for
 *
 * \f[
 *    \mu_s < n_{\rm on} \frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha}
 * \f]
 *
 * For positive \f$\mu_b\f$ the log-likelihood function is given by
 *
 * \f[
 *    L = -\frac{\mu_s}{\alpha}
 *        - n_{\rm on} \ln \left(\frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} \right)
 * \f]
 *
 * the first derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta L}{\delta \mu_s} = -\frac{1}{\alpha}
 * \f]
 *
 * and the second derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 L}{\delta \mu_s^2} = 0
 * \f]
 *
 * For negative \f$\mu_b\f$ we set \f$\mu_b=0\f$ and the log-likelihood
 * function becomes
 *
 * \f[
 *    L = \mu_s - n_{\rm on} -
 *        n_{\rm on} \left( \ln(\mu_s) - \ln(n_{\rm on}) \right)
 * \f]
 *
 * the first derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta L}{\delta \mu_s} = 1 - \frac{n_{\rm on}}{\mu_s}
 * \f]
 *
 * and the second derivative
 *
 * \f[
 *    \frac{\delta^2 L}{\delta \mu_s^2} = \frac{1}{\mu_s^2}
 * \f]
 *
 * Note that the fit results may be biased and the statistical errors
 * overestimated if for some bins \f$n_{\rm on}=0\f$ and/or
 * \f$n_{\rm off}=0\f$ (i.e. if the special cases are encountered).
