We combine measurements of the correlation function in the north and south using
the inverse covariance matrices from the Manera et al. mock catalogs; see Eqns 8
and 9 of White et al., ApJ, 728, 126 (arxiv:1010.4915).  We therefore provide
the covariance matrices and measurements from north and south, as well as a
python script to generate the minimum variance measurements and combined
covariance matrix when including different bins from the monopole and quadrupole
(or monopole alone).

===============================================================================
Measurement files: xi[0-2][N-S].txt
Covariance matrix files: cov[N-S].txt

Using all bins, we also provide a copy of the final measurement values and 
corresponding covariance matrix.

combined measurements: xi02dr9.txt
combined inverse covariance matrix used in Reid et al.: icc_ns_23_xi02dr9.txt

or they can be generated with

python combine.py 0 22 0 22 myfname

To generate minimum variance measurements and covariances for only the monopole, 
use 

python combine.py 0 22 -1 -1 myfnamexi0
