Apr 14, 2015 at 9:20 comment added cschwan @LKlevin: Well, the squared values are summed which differs from what is written in the original publication (sum absolute values) for one. But I guess this is because it yields a better convergence for most integrands in practice. But why is that? Did they just do that on an empirical basis or is there a proper explanation? I am also not sure why this algorithm could be stable at all if you sum the squares instead of the absolute values. I tried to find a better rebinning algorithm but it seems to be impossible to find a stable one for integrands that are not factorizable. Why is it so good?
Apr 12, 2015 at 11:31 comment added LKlevin Not quite sure what your question is. Is the problem that the absolute values are summed?

Adjust question according to comment
Nov 26, 2012 at 22:09 comment added vanCompute You should add a link to the original publication. Further, what do you mean with "functions that differ largely in neighboring bins"? What is a small function? What is a big function?
