Ferguson Distributions Via Polya Urn Schemes

Open access
Blackwell, David, MacQueen, James B.·1973·The Annals of Statistics

Abstract

The Polya urn scheme is extended by allowing a continuum of colors. For the extended scheme, the distribution of colors after $n$ draws is shown to converge as $n \rightarrow \infty$ to a limiting discrete distribution $\mu^\ast$. The distribution of $\mu^\ast$ is shown to be one introduced by Ferguson and, given $\mu^\ast$, the colors drawn from the urn are shown to be independent with distribution $\mu^\ast$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
