Posteriors, conjugacy, and exponential families for completely random measures

Tamara Broderick, Ashia C. Wilson, Michael I. Jordan

We demonstrate how to calculate posteriors for general CRM-based priors and likelihoods for Bayesian nonparametric models. We further show how to represent Bayesian nonparametric p…
