Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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

💡 Hint: The method of induction can reveal the recursive nature of the relationships.

Challenge 2 Hard

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

💡 Hint: Consider the data characteristics as they translate into breaking pieces.
