Description
A class of random discrete distributions $P$ is introduced by means of a recursive splitting of unity. Assuming supercritical branching, we show that for partitions induced by sampling from such $P$ a power growth of the number of blocks is typical. Some known and some new partition structures appear when $P$ is induced by a Dirichlet splitting.
