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.

Emanuele Dolera, Stefano Favaro, Claudia Contardi
