Hi Raghav,

Can you explain in more detail what you want to do? You want to average 
histograms over several independent runs? That would usually happen 
*outside* Rivet -- the finalize() method is called at the end of each 
independent run, not as a way of merging those runs together.

The yodamerge script might be what you are looking for, at least as an 
example.
