Dependent Modeling of Temporal Sequences of Random Partitions

We consider modeling a dependent sequence of random partitions. It is well known in Bayesian nonparametrics that a random measure of discrete type induces a distribution over random partitions. The…

Clustering and Prediction With Variable Dimension Covariates

In many applied fields incomplete covariate vectors are commonly encountered. It is well known that this can be problematic when making inference on model parameters, but its impact on prediction p…

Template Priors in Bayesian Curve Registration

In experiments where observations on each experimental unit are functional in nature, it is often the case that, in addition to variability along the horizontal axis (height or amplitude variabilit…
