What
Correct the b-bit MinHash A(r, b) denominator to use the required 2^b exponent and add a focused regression test.
Why
The previous 2*b exponent produced a biased correction whenever b was greater than two and r was nonzero.
Impact
Jaccard estimates using a nonzero universe ratio now follow the published estimator. The r=0 behavior is unchanged.
Root cause
The exponentiation term was transcribed as multiplication.
