Question 1

What is the purpose of stick-breaking in Bayesian methods?

  • To define data points
  • To determine the number of clusters
  • To assign weights to components

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider its role in clustering.

Question 2

Is a Dirichlet Process finite-dimensional?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate this to how flexibility is gained in modeling.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Derive the mathematical relationship between weights in a stick-breaking model and the Beta distribution.

πŸ’‘ Hint: The method of induction can reveal the recursive nature of the relationships.

Question 2

Explain how you would approach clustering data without any prior knowledge of numbers of clusters using stick-breaking.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the data characteristics as they translate into breaking pieces.
