Abstract: Munz and Reiner list a computer program written in Fortran 77 for the estimation of the utilities and mobilities. For simplicity, the log-linear estimation procedure is used. A program for the non-linear estimation procedure is obtained from the listed program by substituting the subroutine ESTIMA by a more complicated one for solving the nonlinear equations arising in this case. The program enables one to perform a decomposition of the total mobility matrix to a time-dependent global mobility function and a time-independent deterrence matrix. Statistical tests including the correlation coefficient, the adjusted correlation and Fishers F-value, are computed using the total mobility and the reduced mobility.
