# b03alt_spec. Generic versus alternative-specific time and cost coefficients.
#
# generic_alt_specific_catalogs() creates the same native two-branch catalogs
# as Biogeme's helper. R keeps the utilities and likelihood visible; native
# Biogeme resolves the four combinations, estimates them, and creates reports.
