Rather, it weights the probability of each isomorphism class by the inverse of the order of the automorphism group, as I explained. (Which is apparently the more natural thing according to Michael Zieve's comment) | |
| Jul 13, 2015 at 13:10 | comment | added | Russ Woodroofe | It's not clear to me that the procedure described above wouldn't favor certain isomorphism classes. The original question wanted an equal chance at each isomorphism class of groups of order $n$. | |
