/**
* <p>Class handling the asymmetry fit.
* \brief Class for handling standard μSR asymmetry fits.
*
* PRunAsymmetry implements asymmetry fitting for conventional μSR experiments,
* where the asymmetry is calculated from forward and backward detector histograms:
*
* \f[ A(t) = \frac{F(t) - \alpha B(t)}{F(t) + \alpha B(t)} \f]
*
* The class supports various configurations:
* - α and β parameters (detector efficiency corrections)
* - Background subtraction (fixed or estimated)
* - Bin packing for improved statistics
* - Rotating reference frame (RRF) data handling
* - Multiple histogram grouping and run adding
*
* The α/β parameter configurations are:
* - Tag 1: α = β = 1 (no corrections)
* - Tag 2: α ≠ 1, β = 1 (forward/backward asymmetry correction)
* - Tag 3: α = 1, β ≠ 1 (alternative correction)
* - Tag 4: α ≠ 1, β ≠ 1 (both corrections active)
*
* \see PRunBase for the base class providing common functionality
* \see PRunAsymmetryBNMR for β-NMR asymmetry (helicity-dependent)
* \see PRunSingleHisto for single histogram fits
