    Snippet: As in the gravity model, τ 1 and τ 2 control how 'eagerness to travel' and city 'attractiveness' scales with population size; and ρ measures how the likelihood of travel decays with distance. The parameter δ quantifies how destinations k, of various sizes, at distances d jk from the donor j, modulate the spatial interaction between recipient i and and donor j. In particular, δ > 0 indicates a synergistic effect; δ < 0, an antagonistic effec.....
    Document: As in the gravity model, τ 1 and τ 2 control how 'eagerness to travel' and city 'attractiveness' scales with population size; and ρ measures how the likelihood of travel decays with distance. The parameter δ quantifies how destinations k, of various sizes, at distances d jk from the donor j, modulate the spatial interaction between recipient i and and donor j. In particular, δ > 0 indicates a synergistic effect; δ < 0, an antagonistic effect. The resultant formulation for disease-relevant spatial interactions between community i and everywhere else is:
