  <dc:title>Copula Based Stochastic Frontier Quantile Model</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package copulaSQM version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides estimation procedures for copula-based stochastic frontier quantile models for cross-sectional data. The package implements maximum likelihood estimation of quantile regression models allowing flexible dependence structures between error components through various copula families (e.g., Gaussian and Student-t). It enables estimation of conditional quantile effects, dependence parameters, log-likelihood values, and information criteria (AIC and BIC). The framework combines quantile regression methodology introduced by Koenker and Bassett (1978) &lt;doi:10.2307/1913643&gt; with copula theory described in Joe (2014, ISBN:9781466583221). This approach allows modeling heterogeneous effects across quantiles while capturing nonlinear dependence structures between variables.</dc:description>
