The multiple discrete-continuous extreme value model with ordered preferences (MDCEV-OP) has broad prospects in activity-based modeling (ABM) since it can model episode-level time-use decisions and ensure a logical prediction across different episodes of an activity. However, the current MDCEV-OP framework assumes a monotonically increasing utility function for each episode alternative, which fails to accommodate potential nonmonotonic preference in episode-level time consumption. In this paper, we modify the traditional MDCEV-OP model by adding a baseline marginal utility parameter, making the model more flexible to reflect the potential nonmonotonic preference in episode-level time-use behaviors, as well as ensuring the logically consistent prediction as in the traditional model. To our knowledge, it is the first time to develop an episode-level MDCEV model that considers nonmonotonic preference. The new MDCEV-OP model was applied to analyze the episode-level time-use pattern of noncommuters in Shanghai, China. The empirical results show that the new model provides plausible explanations for nonmonotonic preference in episode-level time-use behaviors and outperforms the traditional model both in data fitting and forecasting performance.
