Commentary on A Note on the Dirichlet Process
Jayaram Sethuraman · 2010
The papers Blackwell (1973) and Blackwell and MacQueen (1973) appeared in the same journal issue where Ferguson's article appeared. These papers gave other ways to define a Dirichlet prior and to establish its properties. Berk and Savage (1979) also gave an elementary proof of the result that Dirichlet processes concentrate on the collection of discrete measures.
