摘要: Pankhurst I. C. and Roe P. E. (1978) An empirical study of two shopping models, Reg. Studies 12, 727–748. The well-established gravity/entropy model is compared with a simple micro-level decision model. Data are used from places, Derby Watford. models tested for their ability to reproduce known behaviour. In doing this, many the terms in formulation (including gravity β parameters) adjusted get best possible fit. They then examined performance forecasting, which crucial test such models. implications using practice discussed.
