Appendix: Getting up-to-speed with R N2 - This is the first practical book on spatial microsimulation, an approach that in volves tje generation, analysis, and modeling of individual-level data allocated to geographical zones. The book demonstrates methods for population synthesis by combining individual and geographically aggregated datasets of administrative zones. ER -
