Abstract
- Markov chains, and various generalizations of them, almost universally assume that the transition probabilities applying to a single individual are independent of the behavior of other individuals in the population. That is, there is no interaction among individuals. This is an extremely limiting assumption in modelling social processes. This paper concerns interactive Markov chains, defined as Markov chains in which transition probabilities are functions of population frequencies in the states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
