Beginner's Guide to Nonparametric Bayesian Methods

Online introductions to Nonparametric Bayes tend to be highly technical and mathematically involved. We attempted to simplify the concept for those with fundamental probability and statistical backgrounds, to increase awareness of a blossoming field of statistical machine learning research.
