Sampling from Dirichlet process mixture models with unknown concentration parameter: mixing issues in large data implementations

We consider the question of Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling from a general stick-breaking Dirichlet process mixture model, with concentration parameter α . This paper introduces a Gibbs sampling algorithm that combines the slice sampling approach of Walker (Communications in Statistics - Simulatio...
