Re: st: AW: Two weights at the same time?

thanks, but's its not exactly that. I actually made a mistake in my
question, I need to apply two probabilty weights at the same time, not
two analytical weights (and not one analytical and one probability as
the other question)
I think I can simply multiply them, but I'm not sure at all about it
