Abstract
A famous “curious identity” of Wallis gives a representation of the constant π in terms of a simply structured infinite product of fractions. Sondow and Yi [Amer. Math. Monthly 117 (2010) 912–917] identified a general scheme for evaluating Wallis-type infinite products. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss an interpretation of the scheme by means of Pólya urn models.
