when math doesn't speak english, part 2

I found this little math gem in a paper I"m reading about Canonical Correspondence Analysis, a technique which has the potential to be a nice "balance" between going completely geostatistical and sticking to the ecologist-friendly realm of P-Value-Ville.

So this little joy here simply means "Mean"-- it's the definition of the mean. Does that look like a "mu" to you? I have to pretend sometimes. 

The paper this is form is 
Canonical Correlation Analysis: An overview with application to learning methods. David R Hardoon, S. Szedmak, and John Shawe-Taylor. Technical Report: CSD-TR-03-02. 2003.
