Abstract

Two alternative methodological approaches (the IPFP based and the intramax
procedures) to the problem of pattern identification in spatial interaction data
are compared and evaluated in this paper. After a general discussion of the
major characteristics and shortcomings of these methodologies, the paper
presents the findings of a case study relying on telecommunication data
measured by the Austrian PTT in 1991, in terms of erlangs. The results clearly
illustrate the superiority of the intramax approach in the context of mediumsized
and relatively centralised flow systems. (authors' abstract)
