Beyond point estimation: explaining the posterior in Bayesian cluster analysis

Cecilia Balocchi, Sara Wade

The Bayesian approach to clustering is often appreciated for its ability to provide uncertainty in the partition structure. However, summarising the posterior distribution over par…

A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Species Sampling Problems with Ordering

Cecilia Balocchi, Federico Camerlenghi, Stefano Favaro

Species-sampling problems (SSPs) refer to a vast class of statistical problems calling for the estimation of (discrete) functionals of the unknown species composition of an unobser…

Bayesian Nonparametric Inference for "Species-sampling" Problems

Cecilia Balocchi, Stefano Favaro, Zacharie Naulet

Given an observed sample from a population of individuals belonging to species, "species-sampling" problems (SSPs) call for estimating some features of the unknown species composit…
