Histogram of weights/ n-D histograms #22

Open dhruvbalwada opened 4 years ago

dhruvbalwada commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to easily extend the functionality to include the histogram of the weights for a particular bin? The current weights options gives a sum, but sometimes it would useful to look at the distribution of the points within a certain bin.

This might be equivalent to estimating a 3D (or nD) histogram. Can we do that?

Should we be transitioning over to https://boost-histogram.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/BoostHistogramHandsOn.html#3:-More-dimensions instead of xhistogram (since it also claims to be faster)? Has anyone tried it out? Or are there any advantages to sticking with xhistogram (the API of xhistogram is quite nice)?

I've only looked very briefly, but it doesn't look as though boost-histogram handles dask arrays
