Summary:
Predicting human mobility is fundamental to human societies, and various models have been introduced. One of the prevailing frameworks, the radiation model, predicts the mobility flow in a closed formula of population distribution. However, the same distributions of job-seeker expectations and job-offer benefits are assumed in the radiation model, which does not necessarily hold in general situations. In this research, we propose a modified radiation model based on the theoretical derivation with distinct job-seeker expectations and job-offer benefits distributions. Furthermore, we compare the prediction results with the radiation model using a flow dataset between counties in the United States.
