Abstract
ABSTRACT Regional analysts are often faced with the task of forecasting future flows. The ability to carry out such a task is often limited to a reliance on either a Markovian assumption or other techniques that use only one or two observed flow matrices. This paper explores alternative methods that may be used to combine the information contained in an observed temporal sequence of flow matrices. Information theoretic principles, lag structures, and constant causative matrix operators are among the techniques discussed. These methods are applied and evaluated using inter-regional migration flow data for the United States.

Environment and Planning A Economy and SpaceA New Set of Spatial-Interaction Models: The Theory of Competing Destinations
485 Citations1983A. Stewart Fotheringham
Members of the family of spatial-interaction models commonly referred to as gravity models are shown to be misspecified and an undesirable ‘spatial-structure effect’ in estimated distance-decay parameters is examined.

It is shown that, if competition exists between destinations or, alternatively, if agglomeration effects are present, the gravity model is misspecified and estimated distance-decay parameters obtained from the model are related to spatial structure.

The integrated methodology for spatial (or multi regional) demographic analysis developed at IIASA is reviewed, the FORTRAN IV codes of the computer programs are presented, and a user's manual for implementing this methodology is included.

This paper seeks to extend the macrostatic approach to urban modelling by treating modelling problems as many-stage processes, and uses the method of information minimising to generate an ‘extended’ family of spatial-interaction models.

Examination of gross interstate migration flows for five periods for the years between 1969 and 1978 shows that despite divergent economic fluctuations over the past nine years, the patterns of interstate migration have remained virtually unchanged.

The author concludes that the extended minimum information approach is the most suitable for building dynamic spatial interaction models, given the current state of U.S. internal migration data.
