Discrete random probability measures and the exchangeable random partitions they induce are key tools for addressing a variety of estimation and prediction problems in Bayesian inference. Indeed, many popular nonparametric priors, such as the Dirichlet and the Pitman–Yor process priors, select...

A Bayesian non-parametric methodology has been recently proposed to deal with the issue of prediction within species sampling problems. Such problems concern the evaluation, conditional on a sample of size "n", of the species variety featured by an additional sample of size "m". Genomic...

We consider the problem of evaluating the probability of discovering a certain number of new species in a new sample of population units, conditional on the number of species recorded in a basic sample. We use a Bayesian nonparametric approach. The different species proportions are assumed to be...

Most of the Bayesian nonparametric models for non-exchangeable data that are used in applications are based on some extension to the multivariate setting of the Dirichlet process, the best known being MacEachern’s dependent Dirichlet process. A comparison of two recently introduced classes of...

Recently the class of normalized random measures with independent increments, which contains the Dirichlet process as a particular case, has been introduced. Here a new technique for deriving moments of these random probability measures is proposed. It is shown that, "a priori", most of the...
