Joint RP/SP estimation: flexibility and measurement of state dependence
Posted: 24 Jul 2024, 09:56
Dear Sir,
My study is going combine and compare SP and RP data. According to Apollo manual, I found it provides "P = apollo_combineModels(P, apollo_inputs, functionality)" for combining. I have following questions about the SP-RP joint estimations in Apollo.
1. Is the "apollo_combineModels" based on nested logit? If so, does it mean I can manually develop a nested tree for RP and SP using the related nested logit code? And can I change the "mnl setting"
2. Additionally, can I modify the "mnl setting", as mentioned in the manual, to others (e.g., mmnl) ?
3. Can Apollo estimate the state dependence of RP on SP, and if so, how?
Hope my questions are clear. Thank you so much and look forward for your reply!
