The ML score, which takes values between 0 and 1, is converted to a
chi2-like value ranging from zero to infinity with this simple formula:
chi2 = 1 / score - 1
The chi2-like definition allows to apply certain chi2-based selection,
and particulartly the leading/next-to-leading chi2 gap, also in the case
of matching performed with ML models.

@mcoquet642 do you prefer that I fix the linter error (it's an explicit include that is missing, but it is not preventing the correct compilation), or I postpone the fix to the next PR to avoid re-triggering the CI? |
