Comment on ``Lancaster Probabilities and Gibbs Sampling'' [arXiv:0808.3852]
We give families of examples where sharp rates of convergence to stationarity of the widely used Gibbs sampler are available. The examples involve standard exponential families and their conjugate priors. In each case, the transition…
Comment on ``On Random Scan Gibbs Samplers'' [arXiv:0808.3852]
We are thankful to the discussants for their hard, interesting work. The main purpose of our paper was to give reasonably sharp rates of convergence for some simple examples of the Gibbs sampler. We chose examples from expository accounts…

Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…

Comment on ``Microarrays, Empirical Bayes and the Two-Group Model'' [arXiv:0808.0572]
Orthogonal polynomials are of fundamental importance in many fields of mathematics and science, therefore the study of a particular family is always relevant. In this manuscript, we present a survey of some general results of the Hermite…
This paper is a short introduction to orthogonal polynomials, both the general theory and some special classes. It ends with some remarks about the usage of computer algebra for this theory.
We survey several results known on sampling in computational geometry.
This article is a survey of the exponential polynomials (also called single-variable Bell polynomials) from the point of view of Analysis. Some new properties are included and several Analysis-related applications are mentioned.
