Large parameter asymptotic analysis for homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this article, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem (CLT), and the functional central limit theorem (fCLT) of such measures when the concentration parameter a ...
