The present paper provides exact expressions for the probability distribution of linear functionals of the two–parameter Poisson–Dirichlet process. Distributional results that follow from the application of an inversion formula for a (generalized) Cauchy–Stieltjes transform are achieved....

The present paper provides a review of the results concerning distributional properties of means of random probability measures. Our interest in this topic has originated from inferential problems in Bayesian Nonparametrics. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that these random quantities play an...
