Is there any bibliographic reference or the model was developed internally by GE? I know that for this competition, the important thing is not the model itself, but choosing appropriate parameters that minimize the costs of flights. However, I would like to understand better the model incorporated into the simulator.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Best regards,</p>\n<p>Sandro</p>",
