Pólya Urn Models under General Replacement Schemes
In this paper, we consider a Pólya urn model containing balls of m different labels under a general replacement scheme, which is characterized by an m×m addition matrix of integers without constraints on the values of these m integers other than non-negativity. This urn model includes some important urn models treated before. By a method based on the probability generating functions, we conside...
متن کاملExponential Posterior Consistency via ́ Generalized Polya Urn Schemes in Finite
Ž . Advances in Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC methods now make it computationally feasible and relatively straightforward to apply the Dirichlet process prior in a wide range of Bayesian nonparametric problems. The feasibility of these methods rests heavily on the fact that the MCMC approach avoids direct sampling of the Dirichlet process and is instead based on sampling the finite-dimensional ...
متن کاملWeighing the "heaviest" Polya urn
For the classical Polya urn model parametrized by exponent γ, the limit distributions of the fraction of balls in each bin are simple and well known when γ < 1 (“egalitarian”) and when γ > 1 (“winner takes all”). In this note, we partially fill in the gap for γ = 1, the critical point, by providing explicit analytical expressions for all the moments of the limit distribution of the fraction of ...
متن کاملMulticolor urn models with reducible replacement matrices
Consider the multicolored urn model where after every draw, balls of the different colors are added to the urn in proportion determined by a given stochastic replacement matrix. We consider some special replacement matrices which are not irreducible. For three and four color urns, we derive the asymptotic behavior of linear combinations of number of balls. In particular, we show that certain li...
متن کاملThe Class of Tenable Zero-balanced Polya Urn Schemes: Characterization and Gaussian Phases
We study a class of tenable irreducible nondegenerate zero-balanced Pólya urn schemes. We give a full characterization of the class by sufficient and necessary conditions. Only forms with a certain cyclic structure in their replacement matrix are admissible. The scheme has a steady state into proportions governed by the principal left eigenvector of the average replacement matrix. We study the ...
