摘要
We introduce a class of discrete-time stochastic processes generated by interacting systems of reinforced urns. We show that such processes are asymptotically partially exchangeable and we prove a strong law of large numbers. Examples and the analysis of particular cases show that interacting reinforced-urn systems are very flexible representations for modelling countable collections of dependent and asymptotically exchangeable sequences of random variables.
