“…Research interest in spatial interactions has grown exponentially in recent years along with increases in open georeferenced activity data, such as taxi trips, animal movement, telecommunications, postings and sharing on social media, and international trade. Social networks (Yin, Soliman, Yin, & Wang, 2017), network flows (Kempinska, Longley, & Shawe‐Taylor, 2018; Luo, Gao, & Cassels, 2018), and agent‐based modeling (Ghavami, Taleai, & Arentze, 2017; Luo, 2016) have grown in prominence in spatial interaction research to elicit the structure and strength of connections and interactions among locations. Like the previous studies, these studies either assumed constant spatial structures or focused on the development of the aggregated network without attention to how multilateral interactions developed at individual locations over time.…”
