a reinforcement process in which each draw adds more balls of the drawn color, so early chance outcomes lock in lasting proportions.

In probability theory, Pólya urn refers to a reinforcement process in which each draw adds more balls of the drawn color, so early chance outcomes lock in lasting proportions. This meaning comes from Eggenberger (1923) in ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik.[1]
