The PDF for each component, <strong>in</strong> turn, is the product of the PDFs for each of the fit <strong>in</strong>put variables:<br />

Includ<strong>in</strong>g the Poisson factor, the likelihood is:<br />

Note that the factor Æ Æ <strong>in</strong> the above equation cancels an identical factor <strong>in</strong> the denom<strong>in</strong>ator that arises<br />

from equation 5.1.<br />

5.5.1 Correlations between PDFs<br />

The PDFs described <strong>in</strong> the previous section are assumed to be uncorrelated <strong>in</strong> the maximum likelihood fit.<br />

To check this assumption we have calculated the l<strong>in</strong>ear correlation coefficient �� between the PDFs for<br />

variables � and �. The def<strong>in</strong>ition of �� is <strong>in</strong> Sec. 4.6.6. Table 5-4 summarizes the correlation coefficients<br />
