Asymptotic regimes for maximum likelihood estimation in the Ewens--Pitman model: When the strength parameter matters
Filippo Ascolani, Mario Beraha, Stefano Favaro
We study the large sample asymptotic behaviour of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of the discount and strength parameters in the Ewens--Pitman model for random partition…
