Kokkuvõte	The uniform difference (UNIDIFF) model, equivalently the log-multiplicative layer effect model, compares the strength of origin–destination association across several mobility tables — countries, time periods, or birth cohorts. It assumes the tables share a common pattern of association ψ_ij but allows the overall strength of that pattern to differ by a single layer-specific multiplier φ_k. A φ_k above one means stronger origin effects (less fluidity) in that layer; below one means greater fluidity.	Goodman's association models, especially the row-column (RC) model, analyze the association in a two-way contingency table by representing it as a product of estimated scores for the row categories and scores for the column categories, scaled by an intrinsic association parameter. Introduced by Leo Goodman in 1979, they are log-multiplicative rather than purely log-linear, allowing ordered categories to be assigned data-driven scores and the strength of association to be summarized in a single, interpretable coefficient.
