The SI on Bayesian Nonparametrics I co-edited together with Antonio Lijoi and Antonietta Mira is closed, with 10 interesting paper accepted.
The aim of this Special Issue is twofold. On one hand, it wishes to give a broad overview of popular models used in BNP, and of the related computational methods for implementation, through a tutorial paper. On the other hand, it focuses on theoretical advances and modern challenging applications of the BNP approach with special emphasis, among others, on: Bayesian asymp-
totics, Bayesian topic models, Bayesian linear and regression models, Bayesian semiparametric state space models, dictionary learning with application to image processing, sensitivity and robustness. This is the list of papers.
