Mixture Models With a Prior on the Number of Components

A natural Bayesian approach for mixture models with an unknown number of components is to take the usual finite mixture model with symmetric Dirichlet weights, and put a prior on the number of components-that is, to use a mixture of finite mixtures (MFM). The most commonly used method of inference f...
