MiLoMerge

A package to merge bins together in such a way that the separability between distributions is minimally lossless. The ROC and LOC curves defined in the paper above are also included as functions in this package. It is fully Pythonic, with full interoperability with Numpy.

This package is derived from the findings of Maximizing Returns: Optimizing Experimental Observables at the LHC, which should be cited should the package be used.
