Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

How might you use a Dirichlet Process in a real-world data scenario where the number of categories is unknown? Outline the steps you would take to implement this.

💡 Hint: Consider datasets like customer preferences where categories might not be apparent.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the interpretation of results derived from a non-parametric Bayesian model. What unique insights can they provide, and what limitations might arise?

💡 Hint: Think about how model complexity affects clarity of insights.
