Yes, more than just the weighted mean. What would need to change
inside a pdf object when convolving two distributions? As far as I
understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the pdf's are
lightweight in a sense that every y-value is being computed on the fly
based on the x-value?

Thanks,
Christian
