-
Replace
detail::span and detail::make_span
with implementations in boost::core

Protect usage of

in the future

utility::clopper_pearson,
utility::wilson_interval, utility::jeffreys_interval,
utility::wald_interval which can compute intervals
with arbitrary confidence level
-
Added
utility::confidence_level and utility::deviation
types to pass confidence levels as probabilities or in multiples of standard
deviation for all interval computers, respectively
-
Fixed internal
sub_array
and span in C++20

Fixed segfault in
indexed
when trying to iterate over histogram with axes of zero size (physical

Division support for
accumulators::weighted_sum

Deprecate
accumulators::sum::small
and ::large
as workaround for bug in windows.h

now does not remove the counts in flow bins anymore if the selected
range actually overlaps with the flow bins, making the treatment
of flow bins consistent with inner bins
-
accumulators::mean and accumulators::weighted_mean
now compute the correct variance when operator+= was called, for example, when histograms
with accumulators are added; this was wrong before leading to too
small variances
-
detection of weight support in user-defined accumulators was broken
at compile-time if accumulator used
operator+= instead of operator(); tests only accidentally passed
for builtin weighted_sum
-
Fixes
-
axis::variable{{0, 1, inf}}.value(1)
now returns 1 instead of NaN
-
axis::variable ctor now throws std::invalid_argument if one values
is NaN

-
