Large deviations for Dirichlet processes and Poisson-Dirichlet distributions with two parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
Large deviation principles are established for the two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution and two-parameter Dirichlet process when parameter θ approaches infinity. The motivation for these results is to understand the differences in terms of large deviations between the twoparameter models and their one-parameter counterparts. New insight is obtained about the role of the second parameter α through a comparison with the corresponding results for the one-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet distribution and Dirichlet process.

متن کاملLarge Deviations Associated with Poisson–dirichlet Distribution and Ewens Sampling Formula
Several results of large deviations are obtained for distributions that are associated with the Poisson–Dirichlet distribution and the Ewens sampling formula when the parameter θ approaches infinity. The motivation for these results comes from a desire of understanding the exact meaning of θ going to infinity. In terms of the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, the limiting proc...
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 کاملDistributions of Linear Functionals of Two Parameter Poisson – Dirichlet Random Measures
The present paper provides exact expressions for the probability distributions of linear functionals of the two-parameter Poisson– Dirichlet process PD(α, θ). We obtain distributional results yielding exact forms for density functions of these functionals. Moreover, several interesting integral identities are obtained by exploiting a correspondence between the mean of a Poisson–Dirichlet proces...
متن کاملModerate deviations for Poisson-Dirichlet distribution
Poisson-Dirichlet distribution arises in many different areas. The parameter θ in the distribution is the scaled mutation rate of a population in the context of population genetics. The limiting procedure of θ approaching infinity is practically motivated and has led to new interesting mathematical structures. Results of law of large numbers, fluctuation theorems and large deviations have been ...
