A xenograft of human choriocarcinoma (CC3) has been established in nude mice, and the relative distribution of affinity-purified specific antibodies to human chorionic gonado...
متن کاملPitman-Yor Diffusion Trees
We introduce the Pitman Yor Diffusion Tree (PYDT) for hierarchical clustering, a generalization of the Dirichlet Diffusion Tree (Neal, 2001) which removes the restriction to binary branching structure. The generative process is described and shown to result in an exchangeable distribution over data points. We prove some theoretical properties of the model and then present two inference methods:...
