Model misspecifications and spatial configuration
In this paper we propose a general testing procedure for models for journeys-to-work. This testing regime is carried out on a number of models within the class of gravity models. We test the models on synthetic populations constructed from an aggregate set of subcategories. Each subcategory is constructed from a gravity model where the population size and parameters are drawn from random distributions. The advantage of this approach is that a a large number of tests can be carried out repeatedly to test the response of different kinds of models.
