A major release of the nestedLogit package now on CRAN.
Enhanced plotting methods, several new vignettes...
[Work on this a tribute to John Fox, who did the heavy lifting on the package, in both theory & code]
Release notes: github.com/friendly/nes...
Docs: friendly.r-universe.dev/nestedLogit

Some sample nestedLogit plots.

I don't know about the {brms} aspect, but a conceptual improvement over the reference-level multinomial approach is that of nested logits, like orthogonal contrasts for a factor. See my {nestedLogit} 📦, friendly.github.io/nestedLogit/

Perhaps out {nestedLogit} #rstats 📦 would be useful?

🧠 {modelbased} 0.15.0 expands your contrast analysis:

- estimate_contrasts() can now calculate contrasts of average slopes (great for within/between context effects!)
- Added support for nestedLogit models
- Visual tweak: join_dots in plot() now defaults to FALSE
