Weak Convergence of a Dirichlet-multinomial Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a random probability distribution which approximates, in the sense of weak convergence, the Dirichlet process and supports a Bayesian resampling plan called a proper Bayesian bootstrap. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62G09, 60B10.

On Dirichlet Multinomial Distributions
Dedicated to Professor Y. S. Chow on the Occasion of his 80th Birthday By Robert W. Keener and Wei Biao Wu Abstract Let Y have a symmetric Dirichlet multinomial distributions in R, and let Sm = h(Y1)+· · ·+h(Ym). We derive a central limit theorem for Sm as the sample size n and the number of cells m tend to infinity at the same rate. The rate of convergence is shown to be of order m. The approa...
متن کاملLarge Sample Asymptotics for the Two Parameter Poisson Dirichlet Process
Abstract: This paper explores large sample properties of the two parameter (α, θ) Poisson-Dirichlet Process in two contexts. In a Bayesian context of estimating an unknown probability measure, viewing this process as a natural extension of the Dirichlet process, we explore the consistency and weak convergence of the the two parameter Poisson Dirichlet posterior process. We also establish the we...
متن کاملIntegrating Out Multinomial Parameters in Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Naive Bayes for Collapsed Gibbs Sampling
This note shows how to integrate out the multinomial parameters for latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and naive Bayes (NB) models. This allows us to perform Gibbs sampling without taking multinomial parameter samples. Although the conjugacy of the Dirichlet priors makes sampling the multinomial parameters relatively straightforward, sampling on a topic-by-topic basis provides two advantages. Fi...
متن کاملRates of Convergence of Some Multivariate Markov Chains with Polynomial Eigenfunctions by Kshitij Khare
We provide a sharp nonasymptotic analysis of the rates of convergence for some standard multivariate Markov chains using spectral techniques. All chains under consideration have multivariate orthogonal polynomial as eigenfunctions. Our examples include the Moran model in population genetics and its variants in community ecology, the Dirichlet-multinomial Gibbs sampler, a class of generalized Be...
متن کاملGeneralized Ritt type and generalized Ritt weak type connected growth properties of entire functions represented by vector valued Dirichlet series
In this paper, we introduce the idea of generalized Ritt type and generalised Ritt weak type of entire functions represented by a vector valued Dirichlet series. Hence, we study some growth properties of two entire functions represented by a vector valued Dirichlet series on the basis of generalized Ritt type and generalised Ritt weak type.
