Yet another application of marginals of multivariate Gibbs distributions

Abstract

We give yet another example of the usefulness of working with marginals of multivariate Gibbs distributions (Cerquetti, 2013) in deriving Bayesian nonparametric estimators under Gibbs priors in species sampling problems. Here in particular we substantially reduce length and complexity of the proofs in Bacallado et al. (2013, Th. 1, and Th. 2) for looking backward probabilities under incomplete information.
