A Procedure of Global Optimization and its Application to Estimate Parameters in Interaction Spatial Models

This work concerns the calibration of trip distribution models issued from Transportation Planning. The optimal estimators are the global minima of a non-convex function. A mathematical result establishes that the solution is the limit of a sequence of means of convenient random variables. A populat...
