I'm interested in studying the statistical properties of pedestrian flow through subway systems (not within a single subway station, but through the subway system. I.e. from station A to station B, etc.) In particular, I want to fit a model to determine the distribution of paths people take through the subways.
Given a dataset of the topology of a subway system (which stations connect to which stations) and timeseries of how many people enter and exit each subway station for during each interval of time. I want to imagine this as a network where each node is a subway station with a decay rate to each of its neighboring stations.
I wrote a little more about my ideas on this problem in the included document and am hoping for some advice on how to approach this problem. I'm taking an introductory statistics course now and (this is independent of my course work) this is the first time I've had to imagine a model of my own and fit it.
I'm hoping for some advice from the experts here on how to approach this problem
I found these in China

Dear Professor Gordon,
It's nice to hear from you again after we spoke in the summer on a DevoWorm meeting, although I never followed through with my interest in DevoWorm I would have liked to. Alas I became too busy.
My email address is [email protected]
Thank you so much for sending the paper.
Looking forward
Akiva
Dear Akiva,
I did a postdoc in Biology at Columbia. What are you up to there?
You'll find the paper in:
Dropbox: Dick Gordon's Public Health Papers
which I've invited you to share. Check for a message from Dropbox.
Yours, -Dick Gordon
Your notes and forming ideas are cool. Here is another issue -- subway stations interact through exchanges via hubs. Hope this link to my paper below works.
