The

indicator variables allow the model to perform data fusion on a sample-by-sample basis, defining the states
fused (

) and
unfused (

). The prior probability of fusion is defined by

and is set in all cases to

for the results in this paper. The

parameters are binary switches that select individual features in each data set. The number of clusters is given by the number of unique values assigned to the

variables, which denote cluster membership in a given context. The

parameters are mixture weights for the Dirichlet Processes and are marginalised analytically.

and

are concentration hyperparameters for the Dirichlet Processes and are sampled as part of the MCMC procedure.
