....for di erent values of . The prior Be(2; 2) indicates skepticism about the extreme values. It was adopted in the document classi cation methodology presented in (Nigam et al. 2000) On the other hand, the prior Be(0; 0) known as Haldane s prior, biases the clusters to be either on or o (Haldane 1948, Novick and 14 Hall 1965, Villegas 1977) In particular, one should note that in this case the prior does not convey any information to the posterior distribution under a multinomial likelihood model. If we set 1 = 2 = 1, we obtain a uniform prior. This prior is not entirely non informative ....
