An intervention may have an effect on units other than those to which the intervention was administered. This phenomenon is called interference and it usually goes unmodeled. In this paper, we propose to combine Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg and Andersson-Madigan-Perlman chain graphs to create a new class of causal models that can represent interference relationships. Specifically, we define the new class of models, introduce global and local and pairwise Markov properties for them, and prove their equivalence.
