Une famille de modèles spatiaux et leur application à la matrice des migrants interdépartementaux français pour la période 1968-1975

A family of spatial models applied to the 1968-75 migration matrix of the french "departements". A family of models is proposed for the analysis of tables showing migration flows between geographical subdivisions. The aim is to use them as a filter, in order to remove, in observed migration flows, the part which is due to variations in size of populations and in geographical configurations (distance, compactness, contiguity) of every couple of zones being considered. The example of migrants having been exchanged between 94 french departments from 1968 to 1975 is given to show the efficiency of those models. The quality of adjustement is very good and the residuals can easily be interpreted in terms of regional variations in mobility behaviours.Pumain Denise, Poulain Michel.
