Multicolor 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 کاملStrong convergence for urn models with reducible replacement policy
A multitype urn scheme with random replacements is considered. Each time a ball is picked, another ball is added, and its type is chosen according to the transition probabilities of a reducible Markov chain. The vector of frequencies is shown to converge almost surely to a random element of the set of stationary measures of the Markov chain. Its probability distribution is characterized as the ...
متن کاملLimit Laws for a Class of Diminishing Urn Models. Limit Laws for a Class of Diminishing Urn Models
In this work we analyze a class of diminishing 2 × 2 Pólya-Eggenberger urn models with ball replacement matrix M given by M = ` −a 0 c −d´, a, d ∈ N and c ∈ N0. We obtain limit laws for this class of 2 × 2 urns by giving estimates for the moments of the considered random variables. As a special instance we obtain limit laws for the pills problem, proposed by Knuth and McCarthy, which correspond...
متن کاملPólya 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 کاملStrong Laws for Weighted Sums of Negative Dependent Random Variables
In this paper, we discuss strong laws for weighted sums of pairwise negatively dependent random variables. The results on i.i.d case of Soo Hak Sung [9] are generalized and extended.
