摘要
This paper presents simple formulae for the utility covariances of the nested logit (NL) model, and based on these defines a ''scaled tree'' that can be used as an aid for the interpretation of estimation, results. The paper also shows that the full information log-likelihood function of linear-in-the-parameters NL models is concave in the utility parameters. Thus, conditional on the scaling parameters, full information maximum likelihood (FIML) searches cannot get trapped in Local maxima.
