The purpose of this paper is to obtain Bayes estimators for both the offspring and life-length distribution in the context of a Bellman-Harris age-dependent branching process. We take a non-parametric approach by letting the prior random distributions, for the offspring and life-length...

This note discusses the asymptotic distribution of two scale and location invariant estimators of two scale parameters in the multiple linear regression model. Both of these estimators need an initial estimator of the regression parameter vector. The asymptotic distribution of one of these...

The purpose of this note is to show that the conditional distribution of a Dirichlet process P given n independent observations X1... Xn from P and belonging to measurable sets A1,... An with A1 [subset, double equals] A1+1 for i=1,... n=1 is a mixture of Dirichlet processes as introduced by...
