Abstract
Kingman’s coalescent can be obtained as the continuous/infinite limit of the following process: at each time t there is a population of N individuals; each individual picks a parent at random from the previous generation of individuals, located in time t+1/N.
The paper for journal club will be the NIPS submission by YWT : “Bayesian agglomerative clustering”.
