Abstract

When performing Monte-Carlo simulations, distributions are sometimes determined only for sub-intervals of the desired total range. In such cases, a frequent problem is to connect, or glue, individual distributions to obtain the final result. Most prominent examples, where this is usually necessary, are certain large-deviation simulation techniques. However, there are multiple approaches to do this, depending on the data and individual requirements. Here, a software tool is presented, containing multiple algorithms, to aid with this task. An introduction to the available methods is presented together with a short tutorial using exemplary data.
