Moments of balanced P\'olya urns

Probability 2025-05-21 v1

Abstract

We give bounds for (central) moments for balanced P\'olya urns under very general conditions. In some cases, these bounds imply that moment convergence holds in earlier known results on asymptotic distribution. The results overlap with previously known results, but are here given more generally and with a simpler proof.
