improved grammar/definition of d-separation #180

Closed mmosse19 closed 5 years ago

mmosse19 commented 5 years ago

"X affects Y in addition to Z" can mean either "X affects Y and Z" or "X and Z affect Y"; I changed the wording to eliminate this ambiguity.

The definition of d-ambiguity didn't say what Q and W were; I added that they contained vertices from G. "they" was used to refer to Q and W, but the reader could've easily thought that it referred instead to O, the variables that are observed. So I got rid of the ambiguity there, too.

Thank you for the feedback. I clarified the wording in commit 6e5c4ea.
