Hello all,

 

I'm becoming fairly new to the @location allocation analytical tool and the only criteria I'm still trying to wrap my head around is the @impedence transformation. I understand the concept of the power function and have read several blogs stating the larger the power parameter you choose, the more willing customers will drive to your facility versus a smaller power.

 

I work in healthcare and from what I've been seeing, the power function is the optimal transformation since patients follow equity of service.

 

Could someone give a good background of when to use each transformation, and when to change the power parameters (in case I was misinformed above).

 

Thanks!
