In this companion chapter to Dunson (2009) we discuss and extend some of the models and inference approaches introduced there. We elaborate on the discussion of random partition priors implied by the Dirichlet process (DP). We review some additional variations of dependent DP (DDP) models and we review in more detail the PT prior used briefly in Dunson (2009). Finally, we review variation of DP...
