Ewens's sampling formula exemplifies the harmony of mathematical theory, statistical
application, and scientific discovery. The formula not only contributes to the foundations of …

Bayesian nonparametric mixture models are common for modeling complex data. While
these models are well‐suited for density estimation, recent results proved posterior …

The problem of estimating discovery probabilities originated in the context of statistical
ecology, and in recent years it has become popular due to its frequent appearance in …

We describe the distribution of frequencies ordered by sample values in a random sample of
size n from the two parameter GEM (α, θ) random discrete distribution on the positive …

We contribute to the discussion of the paper by Devroye and James, by reviewing some of
the most meaningful results that relate the unilateral stable distribution with the asymptotic …

There is a very rich literature proposing Bayesian approaches for clustering starting with a
prior probability distribution on partitions. Most approaches assume exchangeability, leading …

Species sampling problems have regained popularity in recent years due to their frequent
appearance in challenging applications arising from ecology, genetics, linguistic, etc …
