"The concern in this paper is with the prediction of population movements through the mathematical modelling of migration. In particular, the emphasis is on the testing of one of the most basic of a family of models of spatial interaction that have been developed in an information theoretic context in geography. Of special interest with this basic, totally constrained interaction model is the role of the distance variable in population migration and the extent to which it can be employed to predict Canadian interprovincial population migration flows."
