Imprecise probability models for inference in exponential families
When considering sampling models described by a distribution from an exponential family, it is possible to create two types of imprecise probability models. One is based on the co...

Learning from multinomial data: a nonparametric predictive alternative to the Imprecise Dirichlet Model
A new model for learning from multinomial data has recently been developed, giving predictive inferences in the form of lower and upper probabilities for a future observation. Apa...

Variational Bayesian Dirichlet-Multinomial Allocation for Exponential Family Mixtures
Abstract. This paper studies a Bayesian framework for density modeling with mixture of exponential family distributions. Variational Bayesian Dirichlet-Multinomial allocation (VBDM...
