/**
* \brief Example user function implementing a third-order polynomial.
*
* PUserFcn demonstrates how to create custom theory functions by deriving
* from PUserFcnBase. This example implements a cubic polynomial:
*
* \f[ P(t) = a_0 + a_1 t + a_2 t^2 + a_3 t^3 \f]
*
* where \f$a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3\f$ are the polynomial coefficients passed
* as fit parameters.
*
* \section puserfcn_usage Usage in MSR File
*
* To use this function in your analysis:
*
* \code
* FITPARAMETER
* # No Name Value Step Pos_Error Boundaries
* 1 a0 1.0 0.1 none
* 2 a1 0.01 0.001 none
* 3 a2 0.001 0.0001 none
* 4 a3 0.0001 0.00001 none
*
* THEORY
* userFcn libPUserFcn.so PUserFcn 1 2 3 4 (a0, a1, a2, a3)
* \endcode
*
* \section puserfcn_applications Applications
*
* Polynomial backgrounds are useful for:
* - Modeling baseline drifts in long-time measurements
* - Phenomenological fits to slowly varying relaxation
* - Testing the user function infrastructure
*
* \section puserfcn_template As a Template
*
* This class serves as a minimal working example for creating custom
* user functions. To create your own:
*
* 1. Copy PUserFcn.h and PUserFcn.cpp
* 2. Rename the class and update the ClassDef/ClassImp macros
* 3. Implement your physics in the operator() method
* 4. Create a LinkDef.h and build as a shared library
*
* \see PUserFcnBase for the abstract interface and detailed implementation guide
* \see PTheory for how user functions are loaded and evaluated
