What i understood is that a draw from a dirichlet process is a partitioning of a space of data points and a probability measure over this partitioning. This particular distribution is known as the flat dirichlet distribution. In other words, a dirichlet process is a probability distribution whose range is itself a set of probability distributions. However, when the data arise over time, exchangeability, and therefore the conditional i.
