Polya Sampling from an Urn

Description

Consider an urn containing a finite set of values. An item is selected at random from the urn. Then it is returned to the urn along with another item with the same value. Next a value is selected at random from the reconstituted urn and it and a copy our returned to the urn. This process is repeated until k additional items have been added to the original urn. The original composition of the urn along with the selected values, in order, are returned.

Usage

polyap(ysamp, k)

Arguments

ysamp	A vector of real numbers which make up the urn.
k	A positive integer which specifies the number of items added to the original composition of the urn.

Value

The returned value is a vector of length equal to the length of ysamp plus k.

Examples

polyap(c(0,1),20)
