Simple binwise methods
======================

Combination methods based on simple binwise operations are designed to be simple and very fast to compute, though they may not provide the best results in terms of time-frequency resolution. The table below lists the simple binwise methods available in the package, as well as the function they compute for each entry :math:`X_{k, m}`.
