getMultinomialStatistics {MoNAn}

getMultinomialStatistics

Description

One updating step in simulating the mobility network model can be expressed as a multinomial logit model. Extracting the statistics for such a model allows a straight-forward estimation of a multinomial logit model to get initial estimates for the full mobility model, which increases the chances of model convergence in the first run of the estimation considerably.

Usage

getMultinomialStatistics(state, effects, cache = NULL)

Arguments

state

An object of class "processState.monan" that stores all information to be used in the model.

effects

An object of class "effectsList.monan" for which the statistics of a multinomial model should be calculated.

cache

Outdated parameter, no need to specify.

Value

A data frame with N * M rows (N = mobile individuals, M = number of locations) that specifies for each observation the statistics associated with moving to this location.
