A parametric approach to nonparametric inference
Modelling via normalisation for parametric and nonparametric inference
... In Neal (2000), two methods are proposed. The first one involves MH proposals for the update of the allocations s i , i = 1, 2, . . . , n, whereas the second method is very similar to the “no gaps” algorithm of ...
