Marking and re-marking

Probability 2025-11-19 v1

Abstract

A random number of items each independently marked with one of a collection of colours gives rise to the multinomial marking, which generalises binomial thinning. A multivariate version, where previously marked items are then re-marked, has similar properties to taking a linear transformation of a random vector.
