On the Duration and Intensity of Competitions in Nonlinear Pólya Urn Processes with Fitness
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
Our findings can shed light on the application of P\'olya urn processes in more general contexts where fitness and nonlinearity may be present. ...
We give rigorous mathematical characterizations of the tail distributions of both duration and intensity under the various regimes for fitness and nonlinearity, which reveal very interesting behaviors. ...

On the duration and intensity of cumulative advantage competitions
2015
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment
The role of skill (fitness) and luck (randomness) as driving forces on the dynamics of resource accumulation in a myriad of systems have long puzzled scientists. ...
When such competitions are driven by externalities such as cumulative advantage (CA), the rich-get-richer effect, little is known with respect to fundamental properties such as their duration and intensity ...
A natural problem here is to characterize the duration and intensity of nonlinear CA competitions, where the interaction between CA and fitness becomes more complicated. ...

In this study, the authors develop a structural model that combines a macro diffusion model with a micro choice model to control for the effect of social influence on the mobile app choices of customers ...
Using a large data set from an African app store and Bayesian estimation methods, the authors quantify the effect of social influence and investigate the impact of ignoring this process in estimating customer ...
The Polya Urn process also has the same structure. In this process, the experimenter begins by drawing balls with different colors from the urn. ...
