Log-linear trees restrict the log-linear model of quasi-symmetry so that parameters are interpretable as arc lengths in an additive tree. The tree representation can be interpreted further in terms of consumer heterogeneity, affording a dual interpretation in terms of both market structure and opportunities for market segmentation.
