In this article, the authors demonstrate the utility of an extended latent Markov model for analyzing temporal configurations in the behaviors of a sample of 550 domestic violence batterers. Domestic violence research indicates that victims experience a constellation of abusive behaviors rather...

We perform a rigorous stochastic analysis of both deterministic and stochastic cellular automata. The theory uses a mesoscopic view, i.e. it works with probabilities instead of individual configurations used in micro-simulations. An exact stochastic analysis can be done using the theory of...
