Some of the convenience functions for calculating properties of Dirichlet processes were inspired by functions within util.h from the software package DPPDiv Version 1.0b (Copyright Tracy Heath, Mark Holder, and John Huelsenback; licensed under GPL v3; http://phylo.bio.ku.edu/content/tracy-heath-dppdiv).
