Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian Nonparametric Spatial Modeling With Dirichlet Process Mixing
TL;DR: This work develops a spatial Dirichlet process model for spatial data and discusses its properties, and introduces mixing by convolving this process with a pure error process to produce a random spatial process that is neither Gaussian nor stationary.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neutron Star Mass Distribution
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of radio pulsar mass measurements is presented, in which stringent constraints on the underlying neutron star mass distribution are put stringent constraints for the existence of rare super-massive neutron stars.

The neutron star mass distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a large population of pulsars with a flexible modeling approach that can effectively accommodate a skewed underlying distribution and asymmetric measurement errors, and found that the 2.1 M limit is set by evolutionary constraints rather than nuclear physics or general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian Semiparametric Median Regression Modeling
TL;DR: The authors developed two fully Bayesian modeling approaches, employing mixture models, for the errors in a median regression model and associated families of error distributions allow for increased variability, skewness, and flexible tail behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Computational Approach for Full Nonparametric Bayesian Inference Under Dirichlet Process Mixture Models
TL;DR: In this article, a computational approach to obtain the entire posterior distribution for the Dirichlet process priors is proposed, which can overcome the limitations of existing simulation-based model fitting approaches which yield inference that is confined to posterior moments of linear functionals of the population distribution.
