Using raster images to model commodities
This is a non-conventional post, as it is just the presentation I gave at SHRP2 (Freight modeling group) last October in DC.
It was a really good conference and I was very happy to be part of that. My presentation can be downloaded HERE, and below you can find my extended abstract.
