Abstract

We use a natural ordered extension of the Chinese Restaurant Process to grow a two-parameter family of binary self-similar continuum fragmentation trees. We provide an explicit embedding of Ford’s sequence of alpha model trees in the continuum tree which we identified in a previous article as a distributional scaling limit of Ford’s trees. In general, the Markov branching trees induced by the two-parameter growth rule are not sampling consistent, so the existence of compact limiting trees cannot be deduced from previous work on the sampling consistent case. We develop here a new approach to establish such limits, based on regenerative interval partitions and the urnmodel description of sampling from Dirichlet random distributions. 1. Introduction. We
