Advances in Urn Models during the Past Two Decades
Samuel Kotz, N. Balakrishnan · Birkhäuser Boston eBooks · 1997
This paper surveys some key developments that have occurred pertaining to urn models in probabilistic, statistical and biological literatures during the past two decades. It should be regarded as a compact sequel to the book Urn Models and Their Applications by Johnson and Kotz (1977) and as a natural companion to the two chapters in the book Discrete Multivariate Distributions by Johnson, Kotz and Balakrishnan (1997) dealing with multivariate Pólya-Eggenberger distributions and multivariate Ewens distributions, respectively.
