Spatial Interaction Modelling: Core ideas
[Practical 4 of 11]
This practical is going to guide you through building a basic origin constrained spatial interaction model. We will be using the Netbeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE), you may find it useful to have this installed before you begin. The IDE is free and can be downloaded from netbeans.org.We will design our code first as a list of comments used as place holders. We then move on to insert the code required to fulfil the tasks outlined by the comments.
First we introduce the Netbeans IDE, examining how to create and run a new code project. We then briefly introduce spatial interaction modelling theory providing some possible papers for further reading.
