p(i|t) is proportion in class i

[geier]

I believe I found a small issue with the nomenclature in chapter 3, section "Maximizing information gain – getting the most bang for your buck" on page 91 of the packt pdf.

It currently reads:

Here, p (i | t ) is the proportion of the samples that belong to class c for a particular node t.

I believe that should be:

Here, p (i | t ) is the proportion of the samples that belong to class i for a particular node t.

(i instead of c).

You are right, good catch, will add that to the errata! Thanks
