This tool compute average of multiple bigWig files based on the number of mapped reads. To average the bigwig files, the genome is partitioned into bins of equal size, then the scores (e.g., number of reads) found in each bigWig file are counted for such bins and, finally, an average value is reported.
Note that you can actually produce a human-readable bedGraph format instead of the compressed bigWig format if you're interested in having a look at the values yourself.
