What has happened to the following question?: http://mathoverflow.net/posts/202242/revisions Firstly, it looks like a reasonable question to me (although the notation could be improved). Why was it closed, and isn't one supposed to leave a comment indicating why it is being closed? Secondly, why on earth was it migrated to stats.stackexchange? That site is for "statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization" and the question doesn't seem to relate to any of those.
