  • 2/28: Behold the new notes section! (I have temporarily given up on the full compilation
    as I am having too hard of a time letting go of my instinct to explain too many prereqs

I decided to write up all of the exchangeability and Riemann-Stiltjes integral stuff that is needed so that the document can stand on it's own. It is getting longer than expected and therefore taking longer than expected-- hence the phrase "current iteration"!
