Central Limit Theorem for a P\'olya-Friedman Mixed Urn Model

This paper considers a two-color, single-draw urn model with two types of balls, denoted type $1$ and type $2$, with initial counts $Y^1_0\in N^+$ and $Y^2_0\in N^+$, respectively. At each discrete time step, a ball is drawn uniformly at random, its type observed, and then it is returned to the urn. The urn is subsequently updated according to a mixed replacement matrix: with fixed probability $p\in(0,1)$, the Friedman replacement matrix is applied, adding $a$ balls of the drawn type and $b$ balls of the opposite type; with fixed probability $1-p\in (0,1)$, the P\'olya replacement matrix is applied, adding $c$ balls of the drawn type. We establish the central limit theorem for the proportion of type $1$ balls after $n$ draws. Furthermore, we provide corollaries that yield large deviation inequalities and the law of the iterated logarithm related to the proportion of type $1$ balls after $n$ draws.
