 Let’s say I am trying to estimate a model with three alternatives: bus, train, and car, with one nest for the car and another for public transport. How should I handle this when I have SP and RP data? Should I create four nests (PT - SP, PT - RP, Car - SP, Car - RP)? Or should I first create a level with two nests for PT and Car, and then a second level for RP/SP? Could you please direct me to an example model file or references for combining RP-SP data sources to estimate NL models?  Thanks in advance

I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me with this, please.

The best way to think about it is to start by developing first a model for RP data, and, independently, a separate model for SP data. It can be anything (logit, nested, cross-nested, etc.)

Then, when you pull the data together, you declare the SP alternatives unavailable for the RP observations, and the other way around.
