概要	The Nested Logit model is a discrete choice framework that groups mutually exclusive alternatives into hierarchical nests, allowing correlated unobserved utilities within each nest while maintaining independence across nests. Introduced formally by Ben-Akiva and Lerman (1985) and grounded in McFadden's Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) theory, it extends the standard Multinomial Logit by relaxing the restrictive Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives assumption within predefined groups of similar alternatives.	Spatial interaction models predict the volume of flows — migrants, commuters, shoppers, trade, trips — between origins and destinations as a function of the size of each place and the distance or cost separating them. By analogy to Newton's gravity, interaction rises with the 'mass' of origin and destination and falls with separation, and Wilson's 1971 entropy-maximizing family put these models on a rigorous footing for transport, migration, and retail analysis.
