TITLE: Asymptotic Results for some Preferential Attachment Models with Random Weights
ABSTRACT: Various asymptotic results will be shown for the "randomly reinforced" versions of three popular models: Polya urn, Poisson-Dirichlet sequence and Indian buffet process. The main central limit theorem will be stated for an arbitrary sequence of real random variables. Indeed, although this result has been thought for urn problems, it deals with the general problem of the rate of convergence of predictive distributions and empirical distributions for dependent data.
