provincial production output formula(s) ?

Hi,

is the formula known which determines provincial production output ? Or are there even several formulas for different types of goods ?

As far as I have understood, provincial production output is basically influenced by

- a ressource factor of the province (EuProv2.txt and Ralegh's Provincial cheat sheet)
- the population within the province (start2.txt)
- improvements built within the province (start2.txt)

It will be modified by the allocation of labor to a certain product as well, and by a random factor. The difficulty level chosen also reduces or increases the output. But these factors are not necessary in order to determine for which products a province is suited best at the beginning of the game.

Ralegh's Provincial cheat sheet is a good starter, but it doesn't make allowance for the influence of population and improvements.

Any help or hints are highly appreciated.
