Introduction to the Dirichlet Distribution and Related Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This tutorial covers the Dirichlet distribution, Dirichlet process, Pólya urn (and the associated Chinese restaurant process), hierarchical Dirichlet Process, and the Indian buffet process. Apart from basic properties, we describe and contrast three methods of generating samples: stick-breaking, the Pólya urn, and drawing gamma random variables. For the Dirichlet process we first present an informal introduction, and then a rigorous description for those more comfortable with probability theory.

Introducing of Dirichlet process prior in the Nonparametric Bayesian models frame work
Statistical models are utilized to learn about the mechanism that the data are generating from it. Often it is assumed that the random variables y_i,i=1,…,n ,are samples from the probability distribution F which is belong to a parametric distributions class. However, in practice, a parametric model may be inappropriate to describe the data. In this settings, the parametric assumption could be r...

Introduction: The introduction of a thematic framework is necessary for the field of ergonomics and human factors. Content analysis is a useful tool for the trend analysis and distribution of published articles however, reports on the content analysis of ergonomics journals are rare. The present study was conducted to identify research trends in the journal of Human Factors through a conte...

متن کاملOnline Data Clustering Using Variational Learning of a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Mixture of Dirichlet Distributions
This paper proposes an online clustering approach based on both hierarchical Dirichlet processes and Dirichlet distributions. The deployment of hierarchical Dirichlet processes allows to resolve difficulties related to model selection thanks to its nonparametric nature that arises in the face of unknown number of mixture components. The consideration of the Dirichlet distribution is justified b...
متن کاملSome Diffusion Processes Associated With Two Parameter Poisson-Dirichlet Distribution and Dirichlet Process
The two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution PD(α, θ) is the distribution of an infinite dimensional random discrete probability. It is a generalization of Kingman’s Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The two parameter Dirichlet process Πα,θ,ν0 is the law of a pure atomic random measure with masses following the two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. In this article we focus on the cons...
