In TDLM: Systematic Comparison of Trip Distribution Laws and Models

TDLM

Systematic comparison of trip distribution laws and models

1 Short description

The main purpose of the TDLM package is to provide a rigorous framework for fairly comparing trip distribution laws and models, as described in Lenormand et al. (2016). This general framework relies on a two-step approach to generate mobility flows, separating the trip distribution law, gravity or intervening opportunities, from the modeling approach used to derive flows from this law.

2 Install

The TDLM package can be installed with the following command in an R session:

From the CRAN

install.packages("TDLM")

or from GitHub

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("RTDLM/TDLM", build_vignettes = TRUE)

3 Tutorial

A tutorial vignette is available here.

4 Dependencies

TDLM depends on the following packages: Ecume, mathjaxr, Rdpack, readr, rmarkdown, and sf.

Additionally, TDLM requires Java to function properly. Please ensure that Java is installed and correctly configured on your system.
