Resum	The Dirichlet Process Mixture Model (DPMM) is a nonparametric Bayesian clustering method introduced through Ferguson's (1973) Dirichlet process prior that places a probability distribution over distributions. Unlike finite mixture models, the DPMM does not require the analyst to specify the number of clusters in advance; instead it infers the number of components from the data, allowing an effectively unbounded mixture that grows as more observations arrive.	Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of computational algorithms for sampling from complex probability distributions, most commonly the posterior distributions that arise in Bayesian inference. Rather than computing posteriors analytically — which is rarely possible for realistic models — MCMC constructs a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the target posterior and draws dependent samples from it, enabling full probabilistic inference for virtually any model.
