For low overlap, the Chernoff error bound (e.g, exp(-991)) may evaluate to 0, but the exponent itself is computable. Find a way to represent it as 1E-991 instead of 10^(-991) which becomes 0.

MATLAB doesn't have a special exponent notation to represent numbers higher than its limit. Instead, we store the log of this number.
