Abstract
Spatial equations in which the variables are real continuous variables are known as field equations. It turns out that continuous field models possess definite mathematical advantages (in terms of tractability in particular). This may explain why, in spite of the fact that statistical records are of discrete form, such models have been used for some time in transportation and in space economics (Beckmann 1952, Isard 1952, 1956).
