Moment convergence of balanced P\'olya processes

Probability 2016-06-23 v1

Abstract

It is known that in an irreducible small P\'olya urn process, the composition of the urn after suitable normalization converges in distribution to a normal distribution. We show that if the urn also is balanced, this normal convergence holds with convergence of all moments, thus giving asymptotics of (central) moments.
