In probability and statistics, the Dirichlet distribution, often denoted Dir , is a family of continuous multivariate probability distributions parameterized by a vector α of positive reals. It is a

In geometry, a simplex is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions. The simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope in any given

…1 where x i ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] for all i ∈ { 1 , … , K } and ∑ i = 1 K x i = 1 . That is, the probability density function is defined on the standard K − 1 simplex embedded in K -dimensional Euclidean space, R K . The normalizing constant is the multivariate beta function, which can be expressed in terms of the…
