Nested logit model, with one nest as an ordered nest

Dear Prof. Hess;

I am trying to model car sharing use frequency. I want to model the frequency of use using a nested logit model; in one nest is Never used the service, and on the other nest is ordered use frequency. The frequencies I have start from Never using the service (nest-1), use it once a month, once a week, or more than once a week (nest-2).
Is this possible in Apollo? Is there any recommendation to start from?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi

I can't see how you would specify this as an econometric structure, independently of Apollo.

You can either have a nested logit model where you have never in one nest, and the other options in the other nest, or an ordered logit model with all the options as alternatives in that model
