Market Area Analysis for Retail and Service Locations with MCI
Thomas Wieland , The R Journal (2017) 9:1, pages 298-323.

Abstract In retail location analysis, marketing research and spatial planning, the market areas of stores and/or locations are a frequent subject. Market area analyses consist of empirical observations and modeling via theoretical and/or econometric models such as the Huff Model or the Multiplicative Competitive Interaction Model. The authors’ package MCI implements the steps of market area analysis into R with a focus on fitting the models and data preparation and processing.
