Unbinned Poisson Data
---------------------
Figure 5.14

Regression of unbinned data. The distribution of N = 500 data points is shown
in the left panel; the true pdf is shown by the solid curve. Note that although
the data are binned in the left panel for visualization purposes, the analysis
is performed on the unbinned data. The right panel shows the likelihood for the
slope a (eq. 5.88) for three different sample sizes. The input value is
indicated by the vertical dotted line.
