“…It originates from the work of Perman et al (1992), further investigated in Pitman (1995); Pitman and Yor (1997), and its use in nonparametric inference was initiated by Ishwaran and James (2001). Thanks to its analytical tractability and flexibility, it has found applications in a variety of inferential problems which include species sampling (Lijoi et al, 2007;Favaro et al, 2009;Navarrete et al, 2008), survival analysis and gene networks (Jara et al, 2010;Ni et al, 2018), linguistics and image segmentation (Teh, 2006;Sudderth and Jordan, 2009), curve estimation (Canale et al, 2017) and time-series and econometrics (Caron et al, 2017;Bassetti et al, 2014). The Pitman-Yor process is a discrete probability measure…”
