"On a Characterization of Dirichlet Distribution "
Abstract:
Let Z = (X, Y ) be a random variable taking values in a finite set
I×J. For any distribution P on I×J, let P(•) be the marginal distribution of X
and let P•|i be the conditional distribution of Y given X = i. Define Q(•),Q•|j
be the marginal and conditional distribution of Y and X given Y = j. Geiger
and Heckerman[The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 25, No. 3. (Jun., 1997), pp.
1344-1369.] showed that if a prior II for the distribution of Z, satisfies, under II,
(1) P(•) is independent of {P•|i : i Є I} and
(2) {P•|j Є j 2 J} are independent among themselves
(3) a similar statement holds for Q•,Q•|j
then II is a Dirichlet distribution.
We provide a simpler proof of the above characterization. Then we indicate
an extension of the result to general Dirichlet process and also examine the
distribution of the conditional distribution P|X for a general Dirichlet process.
This is joint work with Laura Sangalli.
