Table 1 Summary of possible traffic models and their identifiablity

From: Origin-destination matrix estimation with a conditionally binomial model

model

identifiability and comments

Poisson, extended Poisson

identifiable, not compatible with Tampere data, used in [12]

normal model (2-parameter models in general)

not identifiable; 6 parameters with 5 equations

normal model with common variance

not identifiable; unable to separate local and through traffic

conditionally Poissonian distributions, e.g., negative binomial distribution [14], Poisson-lognormal, Poisson - inverse Gaussian [18]

not identifiable; no bijection between the model parameters and the observation

conditionally binomial model

identifiable, has similar properties to Tampere data
