We study the problem of two-sample comparison with categorical data when the contingency table is sparsely populated. In modern applications, the number of categories is often comparable to the sample size, causing existing methods to have low power. When the number of categories is large, there is often underlying structure on the sample space that can be exploited. We propose a general non-pa...

Abstract In this study, we consider a class of multiple-drawing opposite-reinforcing urns with time-dependent replacement rules. The has the symmetric property Friedman-type urn. We divide into small-increment regime and large-increment regime. For schemes, prove almost-sure convergence central limit theorem for proportion white balls by stochastic approximation. assuming affinity condition, sh...
