In Response To: math/stat question (OT) (Chuck Bower)

Thanks to UBK for pointing this out. When I say "measure p(xi)" and later pi(xi) what I mean is you do a trials and record success/failure for each trial. Think of flipping an (unbalanced) coin. It's either heads or tails and you record which it is for each toss.
