Abstract

We define and investigate a new class ofmeasure-valuedMarkov

chains by resorting to ideas formulated in Bayesian nonparametrics related

to the Dirichlet process and the Gibbs sampler. Dependent random prob-

ability measures in this class are shown to be stationary and ergodic with

respect to the law of a Dirichlet process and to converge in distribution to

the neutral diffusion model.
