Abstract

The product moment equations previously derived are first discussed for the infinite one- and two-dimensional Ising (or autologistic) model in the case of non-zero mean, as a prelude to an examination of the probability structure in the higher-dimensional (and nominally zero mean) case below the ‘critical temperature’. Of two simple possible models, A and B, both consistent with the division of the product moment p into ergodic, and long-range non-ergodic, components, such that ρ = r (1 – m2) + m2, where r is the intrinsic correlation coefficient, it is shown that the second model B appears appropriate to the three-dimensional ‘spherical model’, but the first model A to the Ising model. Model A is defined by xi = yi + M, where M = +m or –m, and E{yi} = 0; and Model B by
