Wright–Fisher binomial sampling chain
ID: wright-fisher-binomial-sampling-chain
An urn with red balls among is sampled independently times with replacement, and the next generation's red count is the number of red draws. Its proportion is a bounded discrete-time martingale. Accelerating generation time by gives a Wright–Fisher diffusion limit: the one-step variance of the proportion is , and the higher moments make Taylor remainders negligible.
