+`nuismin` supports fake-data studies for validation purposes. The user can set the data as the MC and see if the minimiser routine is able to reach the known parameter value. Its aim is to study fitting biases and general troubleshooting of parameter responses. It can also be useful for choosing the used fitting routines (e.g. Simplex, GSL, Migrad).

 You can also specify `-d FILE_LOCATION.root` to set the fake-data to a MC histogram that has been previously produced through NUISANCE. 
 
-E.g. the output of a fit result to `ANL_CC1ppip_XSec_1DEnu_nu` will produce some output file `MyOutput.root`, containing a histogram `ANL_CC1ppip_XSec_1DEnu_nu_MC`. Feeding `nuismin` `-d MyOutput.root` in addition to a card file specifying `sample ANL_CC1ppip_XSec_1DEnu_nu MY_GENERATOR:GENERATOR_FILE_LOCATION.root` will find the `_MC` histogram in `MyOutput.root` and set it to the data in the new `nuismin` program.
