Finite mixtures of tree-structured distributions have been shown to be efficient and effective in modeling multivariate distributions. Using Dirichlet processes, we extend this ap...
Many nonlinear dynamical phenomena can be effectively modeled by a system that switches among a set of conditionally linear dynamical modes. We consider two such models: the switc...
