Consider a regression model for discrete-time stochastic processes, with a (partially specified) model for the conditional distribution of the response given the covariate and the past observations.

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 ...

Various discrete-time stochastic processes have some kind of recursive or regenerative structure that can be exploited in the study of their properties. Examples include branching processes, ...
