| | Lately I have been making use of a continuous relaxation of discrete random variables proposed in two recent papers: The Concrete Distribution: A Continuous Relaxation of Discrete Random Variables and Categorical Reparameterization with Gumbel-Softmax. I decided to write a blog post with some motivation of the method, as well as providing some minor clarification on...

| | [AI summary] The text presents a comprehensive overview of the beta-Bernoulli process and its related statistical properties. Key concepts include: 1) The Bayesian estimator of the probability parameter $ p $ based on Bernoulli trials, which is $ rac{a + Y_n}{a + b + n} $, where $ a $ and $ b $ are parameters of the beta distribution. 2) The stochastic process $ s{Z} = rac{a + Y_n}{a + b + n} $, which is a martingale and central to the theory of the beta-Bernoulli process. 3) The distribution of the trial number of the $ k $th success, $ V_k $, which follows a beta-negative binomial distribution. 4) The mean and variance of $ V_k $, derived using conditional expectations. 5) The connection between the beta distribution and the negative binomial distributi...
