Random replacements in P\'olya urns with infinitely many colours

Probability 2017-11-28 v1

Abstract

We consider the general version of P\'olya urns recently studied by Bandyopadhyay and Thacker (2016+) and Mailler and Marckert (2017), with the space of colours being any Borel space SS and the state of the urn being a finite measure on SS. We consider urns with random replacements, and show that these can be regarded as urns with deterministic replacements using the colour space S×[0,1]S\times[0,1].
