The Dirichlet Process Mixture Model algorithm presented here aggregates the variational
inference method presented by Bishop in [1], the use of a Beta prior on
the Dirichlet process responsible for the mixing proportions in [2] and the use of a
Gamma prior on the concentration parameter of the Dirichlet process proposed by
[3].
The current variational inference algorithm approximates the posterior distribution
of the dataset by a mixture of multivariate Gaussians, inferring the mixing
proportions from a stick-breaking process which concentration is inferred from a
Gamma distribution.
