Ordinal regression - 'induced Dirichlet' conditional posterior distribution
I am trying to implement the 'induced Dirichlet' prior model proposed by Michael Betancourt (from section 2.2 of his ordinal regression case study here: https://betanalpha.github.io/assets/...

Bayesian updates for Dirichlet-multinomial with Gamma prior
Let
$$
\begin{aligned}
X_i &\sim \text{Dir-multinom}(X\mid\lambda)\\
\lambda_{j} &\sim \text{Gamma}(\lambda_j\mid\alpha,\beta)\\
\end{aligned}
$$
where $i$ iterates over observations, $j$ ...

Gibbs sampling for mixture with Dirichlet prior?
I want to sample from the distribution of a mixture distribution. The hierarchical model is $x_i\sim f$, where:
$$f(x\mid \theta_1,\dots,\theta_p, w_1,\dots,\omega_p) = \sum_{j=1}w_p\varphi(x\mid\...

Gibbs sampling with Dirichlet Likelihood
I have a sequence of observations that I am representing as proportions:
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
0.10 0.20 0.50 0.12 0.08
0.07 0.24 0.55 0.04 0.10

Gibbs sampling for LDA -- does a small Dirichlet concentration parameter make a difference?
I'm using a Gibbs sampler for Latent Dirichlet allocation as described by Griffiths and Steyvers (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC387300/). The sampling of a new topic $j$ for word $i$ is ...

Derivation of the posterior over topics in LDA
When studying the latent Dirichlet allocation, I am not very clear about some procedures in their deriving equations. Please refer to the attached figure, how to understand those two steps, marked as ...

Bayesian estimation of Dirichlet distribution parameters
I want to estimate parameters of Dirichlet mixture models using Gibbs sampling and I have some questions about that:
Is a mixture of Dirichlet distributions equivalent to a Dirichlet process? What is ...
