Example of a nested logit model for a transportation mode choice with 3 alternatives:
- Train
- Car
- Swissmetro, an hypothetical high-speed train
Alternatives Train and Car are grouped in the same nest, as their error terms are expected to share unobserved attributes associated with existing alternatives.
Although this should be discouraged, we illustrate here a normalization of the nested logit model from the bottom.
