Abstract
Bialek, Callan and Strong have recently given a solution of the problem of determining a continuous probability distribution from a finite set of experimental measurements by formulating it as a one-dimensional quantum field theory. This letter gives a reparametrization-invariant solution of the problem, obtained by coupling to gravity. The case of a large number of dimensions may involve quantum gravity restricted to metrics of vanishing Weyl curvature.
