similar to: look for the package of latent class stochastic frontier

Hi, I am trying to find out the scale efficiency and optimal scale of banks by stochastic frontier analysis given the panel data of bank. I am free to choose any model of stochastic frontier analysis. The only approach I know to work with R is to estimate a translog production function by sfa or other related function in frontier package, and then use the Ray 1998 formula to find the scale

I need to estimate maximum tree crown radius and am looking for a package to prepare stochastic frontier models in R. I have not found any package references on Nabble R help, google, or R help. Any tips on a package for this? With regards, Aaron Trowbridge Researcher BV Research Centre Smithers B.C. -- View this message in context:

Dear all, I want to program my own models about Stochastic Frontier Analysis and Linear programming (Data Envelopment Analysis). In this context, is there anyone that may help me with some simple tutorials and scripts about these issues? Thanks a lot. -- Marcus Vinicius Pereira de Souza, Prof. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! A few weeks ago, I have uploaded a new R package "frontier" for Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) [1] to CRAN [2]. It includes the FORTRAN code of Tim Coelli's [3] software "Frontier 4.1" [4]. Hence, the R package "frontier" should have the same capabilities as "Frontier 4.1", i.e. Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Production

Hello everybody, Anyone familiar with the package frontier? I have some general questions on how to approach the model design.

Hi there everyone, I have the following model (this is naturally a simplified version just for showing my problem, in case you're wondering this is a translog cost function with the associated cost share equations): C ~ á + â1 log X + â2 log Y + ã1 log Z + ã2 log XX C1 ~ â1 + â2 log YY + ã1 log ZZ Then I have some restrictions on the coefficients, namely that the sum of â equal 1 and the

Dear current (and future) users of the "frontier" package, We are approaching the first stable version (1.0) of the frontier package, which provides tools for microeconomic Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). I have uploaded a kind of beta release (version 0.99) of this package to CRAN. The most important differences to version 0.9 affect the user interface. I have modified the

Hello! When I tried to call Front41 in R, I met some problem.

Dear all I am happy to announce that version 1.0 of the "frontier" package is available on CRAN. The R package "frontier" provides tools for analysing efficiency and productivity using the "stochastic frontier" approach. This R package is based on Tim Coelli's DOS software "FRONTIER 4.1" and has been available on CRAN for almost 5 years now. After many

Dear R users, I would like to inform you that everything of the "micEcon" package that is related to Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) has been moved to the "frontier" package, because this is a more appropriate place for the functions "front41WriteInput", "front41ReadOutput", and "front41Est", and the corresponding (S3) methods. The data

Dear friends, Over the past weeks, I have been asking a lot of questions about how to use R in Bayesian analysis. I am brand new to R, but I am very pleased with it. I started with winbugs but I found winbugs to be a limited software, not bad but has several limitations. By contrast, R allows the analyst to tackle any problem with a huge set of tools for any kind of analysis. I love R. In

Dear R users, I am happy to announce that the R package 'productivity: Indices of Productivity Using Data Envelopment Analysis' is now available on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=productivity). Productivity allows computing various transitive measures of productivity and profitability, in both levels and changes. In addition to the classic Malmquist productivity index,

Hi, I found that LLVM 3.1 says Dominance frontier is deprecated. Can anyone please tell me, if there is any replacement for Dominance frontier & Postdominance frontier in LLVM? What are the options if we need to use them? Thanks, Swarup. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

In the literature (see below for a reference), when a dominance frontier is computed, it is computed from a CFG that contains a dummy entry node and dummy exit node. Further, those dummy nodes are potential members of the (post-)dominance frontier for a given basic block. In LLVM, I could not figure out a way to determine if the dummy entry node is a member of the post-dominance frontier of

Hi, Given a positive integer N, and a real number \lambda such that 0 < \lambda < 1, I would like to generate an N by N stochastic matrix (a matrix with all the rows summing to 1), such that it has the second largest eigenvalue equal to \lambda (Note: the dominant eigenvalue of a stochastic matrix is 1). I don't care what the other eigenvalues are. The second eigenvalue is
