We prove that a certain averaging process gives a method for constructing A_p weights from a measurably varying family of dyadic A_p weights. This averaging process is suggested by the relationship between the A_p weight class and the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation. The same averaging process also constructs weights satisfying reverse Holder (RH_p) conditions from families of dyadic RH_p weights, and extends to the polydisc as well. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.3197v1
