Abstract:
Abstract Construction of unimodal random probability measures on finite dimensional Euclidean space is considered. The approach based on Bayesian nonparametric models and Convexity Theory. Specifically, the proposed model makes use of the special properties of convex sets and Choquet’s theorem. As a result, we get random probability measures that admit derivatives almost everywhere in R d .
