This book presents a systematic and comprehensive treatment of various prior processes that have been developed over the last four decades in order to deal with the Bayesian approach to solving some nonparametric inference problems. Applications of these priors in various estimation problems are presented. Starting with the famous Dirichlet process and its variants, the first part describes processes neutral to the right, gamma and extended gamma, beta and beta-Stacy, tail free and Polya tree, one and two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet, the Chinese Restaurant and Indian Buffet processes, etc., and discusses their interconnection. In addition, several new processes that have appeared ... Read more

Reviews for Prior Processes and Their Applications
From the book reviews: “The book under review is likely to be of use to graduate students and researchers interested in prior processes and their applications to Bayesian nonparametrics.” (Ross S. McVinish, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2014)
