  8. The Stick-Breaking process

  9. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length

  10. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length

  11. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut

  12. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut

  13. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut

  20. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut

  21. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut

  22. The Stick-Breaking process • Assume a stick of unit length • At each iteration, a part of the remaining stick is broken by sampling the proportion to cut • How should we sample these proportions?

  23. Beta random proportions • Let be the proportion to cut at iteration

  24. Beta random proportions • Let be the proportion to cut at iteration • The remaining length can be expressed as

  25. Beta random proportions • Let be the proportion to cut at iteration • The remaining length can be expressed as • Thus, the broken part is defined by

  26. Beta random proportions • Let be the proportion to cut at iteration • The remaining length can be expressed as • Thus, the broken part is defined by • We first consider the case where

  27. Beta distribution • The Beta distribution is a density function on • Parameters and control its shape

  28. The Dirichlet process

  29. The Dirichlet process • Dirichlet processes are often used to produce infinite mixture models

  30. The Dirichlet process • Dirichlet processes are often used to produce infinite mixture models • Each observation belongs to one of the infinitely many components

  31. The Dirichlet process • Dirichlet processes are often used to produce infinite mixture models • Each observation belongs to one of the infinitely many components • The model ensures that only a finite number of components have appreciable weight

  32. The Dirichlet process • A Dirichlet process, , can be constructed according to a Stick-Breaking process • Where is the base distribution and is a unit mass at
