What’s the meaning of the symbol ∏ used in the MLE formulation? It’s first used in the video for MLE: Bernoulli Example, as in L(p; x) = ∏ (p_Xi(x_i)).
Thanks!

That symbol is upper-case pi \Pi, which means the product of all the terms to the right, over some range of index values.
It’s similar notation to upper-case sigma \Sigma, which means summation.
