Semi‐Markov processes and mobility†
TLDR
In this article, a stochastic model of migration, occupational and vertical mobility, based on the theory of Semi-Markov processes, is presented and important features of these processes derived.Abstract:
A stochastic model of migration, occupational and vertical mobility, based on the theory of Semi‐Markov processes, is presented and important features of these processes derived. The model is a generalization of the Markov process in which the probability of leaving a state can depend in any arbitrary way on the length of time the state has been occupied (duration‐of‐stay) and on the next state entered (pushes and pulls). For mobility processes it thus captures McGinnis’ ‘axiom of cumulative inertia.’ Several distributions with cumulative inertia are presented and the relationship between the Semi‐Markov model and the Mover‐Stayer model explored. A method of including age effects is described. The model is shown to have applications to many other social processes, in addition to mobility, which have duration‐of‐stay effects.read more

Tourism Destination Loyalty
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the application and usefulness of destination loyalty based on the brand loyalty literature, and a number of loyalty measurements were suggested, and the application of two measurement approaches to primary data on lifelong travel patterns by New Zealand residents indicate their validity.

A review of models of landscape change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest empirical multivariate studies of landscape change, modelling of individual landscape processes, explicit study of the effect of model scale on model behavior, and scaling-up results of studies, on smaller land areas, that have landscape relevance.
