Abstract
Information on duration is an important element in any study of migration. It provides a necessary modification for the Markov chain approach to migration probabilities. Future studies of the mathematical model will require data that will be of sufficient quantity to assure reliable within-cell probabilities of movement. This should make it possible to control for such important factors as age, stage in the family life cycle, different places of residence, and other meaningful sociological characteristics. Individual histories of movement are important for the types of analysis that increasingly are coming to play a major role in migration research (Taeuber, 1966).This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
