4 Oct 2010 OPTIONAL POLYA TREE AND BAYESIAN INFERENCE. By Wing H. Wong1 and Li Ma2. Stanford University. We introduce an extension of the Optional Polya tree (OPT) is a flexible nonparametric Bayesian prior for density estimation. Despite its merits, the computation for OPT inference is challenging. 4 Oct 2010 The resulting "optional Polya tree" distribution has large support in total variation topology and yields posterior distributions that are also 19 May 2010 Optional Polya Tree & Bayesian.

Liu, M.Sc.,The resulting ”optional Polya tree” distribution has large support in total variation topology, and yields posterior distributions that are also optional Polya trees. 7 Sep 2016 Bayesian Analysis Adaptive Shrinkage in Polya Tree Type Models We compare its performance to that of the Polya tree, the optional Polya Polya trees form a popular class of prior distributions used in Bayesian In Bayesian nonparametric statistics, the starting point is the construction of a prior Wong and Ma [44] introduce optional Polya trees, where the tree is cut using
