%X The three-parameter Indian buffet process is generalized. T
he possibly different role played by customers is taken into account by suitable (random) weights. Various limit theorems are also proved for such generalized Indian buffet process. Let L_n be the number of dishes experimented by the first n customers, and let 
{\bar K}_n=(1/n)\sum_{i=1}^n K_i
where K_i is the number of dishes tried by customer i. The asymptotic distributions of L_n and {\bar K}_n, suitably
centered and scaled, are obtained. The convergence turns out to be stable (and not only in distribution). As a particular case, the results apply to the standard (i.e., non generalized) Indian buffet process.
