process stabilises and the changes in validation error become smaller. According to our
termination criterion, training is stopped after 18,841 iterations. At this stopping point,
P, the model is used for testing (prediction).

5.4 The Benchmark Models
The first benchmark model is the standard origin constrained gravity model, a special
case of the generic interaction model of the gravity type (see Equation (5))13:
