Logit regressions, in general, follow a [logistical distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistical_distribution) and restrict predicted probabilities between 0 and 1. -Traditional logit models require that the [Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives(IIA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_irrelevant_alternatives) property holds for all possible outcomes of some process. Nested logit models differ by allowing 'nests' of outcomes that satisfy IIA within them, but not requiring that all outcomes jointly satisfy IIA. +Traditional logit models require that the [Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives(IIA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_of_irrelevant_alternatives) property holds for all possible outcomes of some process.
