 # huff: Huff Model Market Area Analysis
 
-This Python library is designed for performing market area analyses with the Huff Model (Huff 1962, 1964) and/or the Multiplicative Competitive Interaction (MCI) Model (Nakanishi and Cooper 1974, 1982). Users may load point shapefiles (or CSV, XLSX) of customer origins and supply locations and conduct a market area analysis step by step. The package also includes supplementary GIS functions, including clients for OpenRouteService(1) for network analysis (e.g., transport cost matrix) and OpenStreetMap(2) for simple maps. See Huff and McCallum (2008) or Wieland (2017) for a description of the models and their practical application.

 # huff: Huff Model Market Area Analysis
 
-This Python library is designed for performing market area analyses with the Huff Model (Huff 1962, 1964) and/or the Multiplicative Competitive Interaction (MCI) Model (Nakanishi and Cooper 1974, 1982). Users may load point shapefiles (or CSV, XLSX) of customer origins and supply locations and conduct a market area analysis step by step. The package also includes supplementary GIS functions, including clients for OpenRouteService(1) for network analysis (e.g., transport cost matrix) and OpenStreetMap(2) for simple maps. See Huff and McCallum (2008) or Wieland (2017) for a description of the models and their practical application.

-## Updates v1.5.1
-- Extensions:
-  - HuffModel.ml_fit(): Fit Huff model parameters by empirical total market areas
-  - HuffModel.summary(): Goodnes-of-fit depends on fit_by
-  - load_market_areas(): Loading table with totals and including into InteractionMatrix, HuffModel and MCIModel objects
+## Updates v1.5.3
 - Bugfixes:
-  - InteractionMatrix.summary(): NoneType parameter
-  - InteractionMatrix.huff_ml_fit(): Update estimates possible even if fit algorithm did not converge
+  - InteractionMatrix.summary() and HuffModel.summary(): No KeyError when param is None anymore
