A new probability measure-valued stochastic process with Ferguson-Dirichlet process as reversible measure∗
نویسنده
چکیده
A new diffusion process taking values in the space of all probability measures over [0,1] is constructed through Dirichlet form theory in this paper. This process is reversible with respect to the Ferguson-Dirichlet process (also called Poisson Dirichlet process), which is the reversible measure of the Fleming-Viot process with parent independent mutation. The intrinsic distance of this process is in the class of Wasserstein distances, so it’s also a kind of Wasserstein diffusion. Moreover, this process satisfies the Log-Sobolev inequality.

Stochastic Quantization of Field Theory in Finite and Infinite Volume
Using the theory of Dirichlet forms a distribution-valued symmetric Markov process is constructed so that it has the (qY')2 measure as its invariant probability measure. Several properties of this process are proved and a finite to infinite volume limit theorem is established.
متن کاملSubtree prune and regraft: a reversible real tree-valued Markov process
We use Dirichlet form methods to construct and analyze a reversible Markov process, the stationary distribution of which is the Brownian continuum random tree. This process is inspired by the subtree prune and re-graft (SPR)Markov chains that appear in phylogenetic analysis. A key technical ingredient in this work is the use of a novel Gromov– Hausdorff type distance to metrize the space whose ...
متن کاملFunctionals of Dirichlet Processes , the Cifarelli – Regazzini Identity and Beta - Gamma Processes
Suppose that P θ (g) is a linear functional of a Dirichlet process with shape θH, where θ > 0 is the total mass and H is a fixed probability measure. This paper describes how one can use the well-known Bayesian prior to posterior analysis of the Dirichlet process, and a posterior calculus for Gamma processes to ascertain properties of linear functionals of Dirichlet processes. In particular, in...
متن کاملct 2 00 6 Differential Calculus for Dirichlet forms : The measure - valued gradient preserved by image ∗ Nicolas BOULEAU Ecole
In order to develop a differential calculus for error propagation (cf [3]) we study local Dirichlet forms on probability spaces with carré du champ Γ – i.e. error structures – and we are looking for an object related to Γ which is linear and with a good behaviour by images. For this we introduce a new notion called the measure valued gradient which is a randomized square root of Γ. The expositi...
متن کاملThe Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Dirichlet Process and other time-varying processes for Bayesian nonparametric inference
This paper introduces a new class of time-varying, meaure-valued stochastic processes for Bayesian nonparametric inference. The class of priors generalizes the normalized random measure (Kingman 1975) construction for static problems. The unnormalized measure on any measureable set follows an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as described by BarndorffNielsen and Shephard (2001). Some properties of the...
