Exploratory Calibration of a Retail Location Model Using Search by Golden Section

摘要: This paper presents some experiments in calibrating a retail location model designed for the Kristiansand region southern Norway. The form and behaviour of under extremes its parameter values is first investigated, then calibration methods proposed by Hyman are tested. need more general method evident search procedure based on Fibonacci numbers outlined. A generalisation this method, golden section number, derived used to explore sensitivity model's goodness-of-fit changes values. fundamental result these explorations shows that there no unique fit models with two parameters, likely hold other spatial interaction.
