Dear all, 

we are pleased to announce the following seminar at the University of Pavia.

Speaker: Shui Feng, McMaster University

Title: Asymptotic Results Associated with Dirichlet Process and Hierarchical Dirichlet Process

When: Wed July 30, 14:30

Where: Aula Beltrami. Department of Mathematics. Via A. Ferrata 5, Pavia

Zoom link: https://unipv-it.zoom.us/j/96274780759

Abstract: Dirichlet Process and Hierarchical Dirichlet Process are important priors in the analysis of clustered data and data groups. In this talk we will present asymptotic results including law of large numbers, central limit theorems, and large deviations for the Dirichlet posterior and the hierarchical Dirichlet process. These results reflect naturally the differences between frequentist and Bayesian statistics.
