Generalized Negative Binomial Processes and the Representation of Cluster Structures
The paper introduces the concept of a cluster structure to define a joint distribution of the sample size and its exchangeable random partitions. The cluster structure allows the probability distribution of the random partitions of a subset of the sample to be dependent on the sample size, a feature not presented in a partition structure. A generalized negative binomial process count-mixture model is proposed to generate a cluster structure, where in the prior the number of clusters is finite and Poisson distributed and the cluster sizes follow a truncated negative binomial distribution. The number and sizes of clusters can be controlled to exhibit distinct asymptotic behaviors. Unique model properties are illustrated with example clustering results using a generalized Polya urn sampling scheme. The paper provides new methods to generate exchangeable random partitions and to control both the cluster-number and cluster-size distributions.

The combinatorial structure of beta negative binomial processes
We characterize the combinatorial structure of conditionally-i.i.d. sequences of negative binomial processes with a common beta process base measure. In Bayesian nonparametric applications, such processes have served as …
Black-box constructions for exchangeable sequences of random multisets
We develop constructions for exchangeable sequences of point processes that are rendered conditionally-i.i.d. negative binomial processes by a (possibly unknown) random measure called the base measure. Negative binomial …
Point ProcessesPriors for Random Count Matrices Derived from a Family of Negative Binomial Processes
We define a family of probability distributions for random count matrices with a potentially unbounded number of rows and columns. The three distributions we consider are derived from the gamma-Poisson, gamma-negative bi…

We introduce a new class of identifiable DAG models where the conditional distribution of each node given its parents belongs to a family of generalized hypergeometric distributions (GHD). A family of generalized hyperge…
Fast Bayesian Variable Selection in Binomial and Negative Binomial Regression
Bayesian variable selection is a powerful tool for data analysis, as it offers a principled method for variable selection that accounts for prior information and uncertainty. However, wider adoption of Bayesian variable …
