Fluctuations of balanced urns with infinitely many colours

S Janson, C Mailler, D Villemonais - Electronic Journal of …, 2023 - projecteuclid.org
In this paper, we prove convergence and fluctuation results for measure-valued Pólya
processes (MVPPs, also known as Pólya urns with infinitely-many colours). Our …

Interacting Urns on Directed Networks with Node-Dependent Sampling and Reinforcement

G Kaur, N Sahasrabudhe - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.02096, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider interacting urns on a finite directed network, where both sampling and
reinforcement processes depend on the nodes of the network. This extends previous …

Azuma-Hoeffding bounds for a class of urn models

A Dasgupta - Statistics & Probability Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract We obtain Azuma-Hoeffding bounds, which are exponentially decreasing, for the
probabilities of being away from the limit for a class of urn models. The method consists of …

[HTML][HTML] Negatively reinforced balanced urn schemes

G Kaur - Advances in Applied Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
We consider weighted negatively reinforced urn schemes with finitely many colours. An urn
scheme is called negatively reinforced, if the selection probability for a colour is proportional …

[PDF][PDF] Negatively Reinforced Balanced Urn Models

G Kaur - 2018 - isid.ac.in
Various kinds of random reinforcement models have been of much interest in recent years
[36, 58, 49, 10, 40, 59, 66, 24, 31, 35, 33, 55, 30, 28]. Urn schemes, which were first studied …
