The last term, `p * 0.5 * log(N)`, should be in the sum only once IMHO. It is in the top BIC equation (j is the model index, not the cluster index), not in the l(Dn) equation where n is the cluster index) in https://web.cs.dal.ca/~shepherd/courses/csci6403/clustering/xmeans.pdf No guarantees that everything else is fine. I also rename `sigma_sqrt` to `sigma_sq` because it is supposed to be sigma square, not square root. Note that if `sigma_multiplier = float('-inf')`, the result will always be infinity, won't it?
