TLDR
In this article, it was shown that various well-known generalizations of Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds can be unified by starting with transformations between generalized factorials involving three arbitrary parameters.

Poisson-Kingman partitions

Jim Pitman
- 01 Jan 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented general formulas for random partitions of a finite set derived by Kingman's model of random sampling from an interval partition generated by subintervals whose lengths are the points of a Poisson point process.

A Bayesian Interpretation of Interpolated Kneser-Ney

Yee Whye Teh
TL;DR: A novel interpretation of interpolated Kneser-Ney as approximate inference in a hierarchical Bayesian model consisting of Pitman-Yor processes is proposed.

A New Formula for the Bernoulli Polynomials

TL;DR: In this paper, a seemingly new class of Stirling-type pairs can be applied to produce a new representation of the Bernoulli polynomials at positive rational arguments.

Brownian Motion, Bridge, Excursion, and Meander Characterized by Sampling at Independent Uniform Times

TL;DR: In this paper, the joint law of a random process is explicitly described when the process is a Brownian motion, and several new identities involving the laws of these processes are deduced by appropriate conditioning.

The r-Bell numbers

TL;DR: In this article, the most important combinatorial, algebraic, and analytic properties of generalized Bell numbers are discussed, which in any cases generalize the similar properties of the Bell numbers.

The Number of Partitions of a Set

TL;DR: The number of partitions of a set has been studied in the context of the number of partitions of sets as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown to be a function of the size of the set.
