similar to: New package "frontier" for Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA)

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

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:

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

Dear all, I have uploaded a new package called micEcon (version 0.1-3) to CRAN (an early version of this package has been already presented at useR! 2004). It contains tools for microeconomic analysis and microeconomic modeling. These are for instance: - tools for demand analysis with the 'Almost Ideal Demand System' (AIDS): e.g. econometric estimation, calculation of price and

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 UseRs, I wrote the following function to use MLE. --------------------------------------------- mlog <- function(theta, nx = 1, nz = 1, dt){ beta <- matrix(theta[1:(nx+1)], ncol = 1) delta <- matrix(theta[(nx+2):(nx+nz+1)], ncol = 1) sigma2 <- theta[nx+nz+2] gamma <- theta[nx+nz+3] y <- as.matrix(dt[, 1], ncol = 1) x <- as.matrix(data.frame(1,

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]]

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

Hi, after having tested SFA in august, I didn't use it for some times and now I receive the subject error when calling through Skype channel. Has anyone an idea on what can be the problem? Thanks -- Daniel

In December, the packages "miscTools" and "micEconAids" were separated from the "micEcon" package. Now, two further packages have been separated from the micEcon package: "micEconSNQP" and "micEconCES". The "micEconSNQP" package (version 0.6-2) provides tools for production analysis with the Symmetric Normalized Quadratic (SNQ) profit

The "micEcon" package has been split into three packages: miscTools, micEconAids, and micEcon. a) miscTools (version 0.6-0) includes miscellaneous small tools and utilities that are not related to (micro)economics, e.g. colMedians(), rowMedians(), insertCol(), insertRow(), vecli(), symMatrix(), triang(), semidefiniteness(), compPlot(), and rSquared(). The miscTools package should depend

Dear R Users: The functions of our "micEcon" package [1,2] can be subdivided into three categories: - microeconomic demand and firm models - sample selection models (mainly selection()) - routines for (likelihood) maximisation (e.g. maxLik(), maxNR(), maxBHHH()) (mainly used for ML estimation of sample selection models) Although sample selection models are often used in

Dear R Users: We have splitted up the micEcon package into three packages: a) Package "maxLik" provides tools for maximum likelihood estimations (see http://www.maxLik.org). b) Package "sampleSelection" provides tools for estimating Heckman-type sample selection/generalized tobit models (see http://www.sampleSelection.org). c) Package "micEcon" contains the
