Many recent applications of nonparametric Bayesian inference use random partition models, i.e. probability models for clustering a set of experimental units. We review the popular basic constructions. We then focus on an ...

This work proposes a method to assess the influence of individual observations in the clustering generated by any process that involves random partitions. We call it Similarity Analysis. It basically consists of decomposing ...

In this manuscript, finite random partition models of the interval are first considered. Next, sampling problems arising in this context are addressed: throw at random k points on any such randomly broken interval. Does ...
