"""
This class implements a way to compute residuals for a Poisson distribution mapping them to residuals of a standard
normal distribution. The probability of obtaining the observed counts given the expected one is computed, and then
transformed "in unit of sigma", i.e., the sigma value corresponding to that probability is computed.
The algorithm implemented here uses different branches so that it is fairly accurate between -36 and +36 sigma.
NOTE: if the expected number of counts is not very high, then the Poisson distribution is skewed and so the
probability of obtaining a downward fluctuation at a given sigma level is not the same as obtaining the same
fluctuation in the upward direction. Therefore, the distribution of residuals is *not* expected to be symmetric
in that case. The sigma level at which this effect is visible depends strongly on the expected number of counts.
Under normal circumstances residuals are expected to be a few sigma at most, in which case the effect becomes
important for expected number of counts <~ 15-20.

expected counts, the more reliable the significance estimation. As rule of thumb, you need at least 25 counts
to have reliable estimates up to 5 sigma.
NOTE 2: if you use to compute residuals in units of sigma, you should not expected them to be symmetrically

the fact that the Poisson distribution is very skewed at low counts.
