+ * {{{
* Let p = num / total, where num is the sample size and total is the
total number of

- * - when sampling with replacement, we're drawing each datapoint with
prob_i ~ Pois(q),
- * where we want to guarantee Pr[s < num] < 0.0001 for s =
sum(prob_i for i from 0 to total),

prob_i ~ Pois(q), where
+ * we want to guarantee Pr[s < num] < 0.0001 for s = sum(prob_i for
i from 0 to total),
* i.e. the failure rate of not having a sufficiently large sample <
0.0001.
* Setting q = p + 5 * sqrt(p/total) is sufficient to guarantee
0.9999 success rate for
* num > 12, but we need a slightly larger q (9 empirically
determined).
* - when sampling without replacement, we're drawing each datapoint
with prob_i
* ~ Binomial(total, fraction) and our choice of q guarantees
1-delta, or 0.9999 success
* rate, where success rate is defined the same as in sampling with
replacement.

I see, there are lots of ">" in here and they're necessary for clarity. Is
there any other option for escaping this besides making the whole thing a code
block?
