The characterization of models and priors through a predictive approach is a fundamental problem in Bayesian statistics. In the last decades, it has received renewed interest, as the basis of important developments in Bayesian nonparametrics and in machine learning. In this paper we review classical and recent work based on the predictive approach in these areas.

Abstract
The characterization of models and priors through a predictive approach is a fundamental problem in Bayesian statistics. In the last decades, it has received renewed interest, as the basis of important developments in Bayesian nonparametrics and in machine learning. In this paper we review classical and recent work based on the predictive approach in these areas. Our focus is on the predictive construction of priors for Bayesian nonparametric inference, for exchangeable and partially exchangeable sequences. Some results are revisited to shed light on theoretical connections among them.File in questo prodotto:
