Abstract
Random probability measures are the main tool for Bayesian nonparametric inference, with their laws acting as prior distributions. Many well-known priors used in practice admit different, though equivalent, representations. In terms of computational convenience, stick-breaking representations stand out. In this paper we focus on the normalized inverse Gaussian process and provide a completely explicit stick-breaking representation for it. This result is of interest both from a theoretical viewpoint and for statistical practice. Copyright 2012, Oxford University Press.
