Dear colleagues,

I have a question concerning the handling of the statistical (Monte-Carlo) uncertainty within flair:
if I combine output files (USRBIN etc.) with different numbers of primary particles (i.e. the observables have different statistical weights), is this taken into account correctly when the results are combined to an average quantity with an uncertainty ?

Thank you,
Thomas
