Abstract

This paper provides a construction of a Fleming-Viot measure valued diffusion process, for which the transition function is known, by extending recent ideas of the Gibbs sampler based Markov processes. In particular, we concentrate on the Chapman-Kolmogorov consistency conditions which allows a simple derivation of such a Fleming-Viot process, once a key and apparently new combinatorial result for Polya-urn sequences has been established
