Log-Linear Mobility Model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Log-Linear Mobility Model

Log-linear mobility models analyze an origin-by-destination mobility table by modeling the logarithm of its expected cell counts as a sum of terms: separate effects for the origin and destination marginals plus interaction terms that capture the origin–destination association. By specifying that association parametrically — through diagonal, level, or scaled terms — these models test precise hypotheses about the structure of social fluidity independent of the changing sizes of classes.
