concentration_rankGW function

concentration_rankGW

Is there a bandwagon effect in mobility, i.e. do mobile individuals move to locations that are the destination of many others from their origin? The functional form of this statistic assumes that there are increasing returns to choosing more populated paths but the return of using a path only depends on the ranking of this path in terms of number of people using it among all paths (and not the actual numbers of people on this path).

concentration_rankGW(
  dep.var = 1,
  state,
  cache,
  i,
  j,
  edge,
  update,
  getTargetContribution = FALSE,
  lambda = 2
)

Arguments

• state:
• cache:
• i:
• j:
• edge:
• update:
• getTargetContribution:
• lambda:

Returns

Returns the change statistic or target statistic of the effect for internal use by the estimation algorithm.
