Abstract
The three-parameter Indian buffet process is generalized. The possibly different role played by customers is taken into account by suitable (random) weights. Various limit theorems are also proved for such generalized Indian buffet process. Let Ln be the number of dishes experimented by the first n customers, and let K¯¯¯¯¯n=(1/n)∑ni=1Ki where Ki is the number of dishes tried by customer i. The asymptotic distributions of Ln and K¯¯¯¯¯n, suitably centered and scaled, are obtained. The convergence turns out to be stable (and not only in distribution). As a particular case, the results apply to the standard (i.e., nongeneralized) Indian buffet process.Pubblicazioni consigliate
