Abstract This paper presents a review of statistical problems which in varying degrees of severity are common to the majority of models used in conventional analyses of travel demand, whether these are based on data defined for individual travellers or for groups of individuals. Illustration is given of the theoretical and practical problems of testing model goodness-of-fit and of model selection. Consideration is given to the special problem of spatial interaction models which incorporate a large number of parameters. The implications of poor model specification are discussed. Finally, recommendations are given for methods of validating models against data sets other than those used for estimation.
