Protocol for comparison of raw simulated to raw experimental data

[CFGrote]

As a first step, perform a literature survey on established best practises for sim-exp benchmarking and comparisons.

• Which metrics are applied
• What are the categories to characterize accuracy/"closeness to experiment" performance of a simulation code.
• How to compare noisy data against noisy data?

A few considerations to this important topic

1. Should we narrow the focus to cases with same binning (simulation can always be set to real detector binning), or consider how to compare data with different binnings?
2. Is there a way to compare event data that was never in a histogram to begin with?
3. Assuming we find a systematic way to do this comparison, how do we implement it? As a little library we all use in ViNYL?
