RE: Means of histograms in the case of negative weights

Dear all,

I'd like to add that this thread does not provide any motivation for the current treatment. In Tim's example that treatment looks silly, and it's a bit unfair to the developers to leave it at that. Some of the thinking behind the current treatment was presented in the discussions of ROOT bug #44811, where I thought one of the conclusion was a feature request for better support for negative weights, which the ROOT team was willing to think about. Has there been any progress on that?

 cheers,
 Amnon

Thanks for the pointer Rene.

The posts are fairly old and end without a good conclusion, does anyone know of more developments/recommendations made since then?
