The influence model

·2001·IEEE Control Systems

Abstract

This article describes what we have termed the influence model, constructed to represent in a tractable way the dynamics of networked and interacting Markov chains. The constraints imposed on the influence model may restrict its modeling ability but permit explicit and detailed analysis and computation and still leave room for rather richly structured and novel behavior. We focus on the dynamic evolution of the system. The influence matrix H, in both the homogeneous and general cases, bears further study as an interesting generalization of familiar stochastic matrices. The influence model may also find use as a representation for stochastic signals of various kinds. The influence model is evidently related to other models of networked stochastic automata in the literature, but the details of the relationships remain to be worked out more explicitly in many cases. The generalizations embodied in the influence model could prove to be important degrees of freedom in particular applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
