  <dc:title>Stochastic Frontier Analysis Routines</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package sfaR version 1.0.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Maximum likelihood estimation for stochastic frontier
    analysis (SFA) of production (profit) and cost functions. The package
    includes the basic stochastic frontier for cross-sectional or pooled
    data with several distributions for the one-sided error term (i.e.,
    Rayleigh, gamma, Weibull, lognormal, uniform, generalized exponential
    and truncated skewed Laplace), the latent class stochastic frontier
    model (LCM) as described in Dakpo et al. (2021)
    &lt;doi:10.1111/1477-9552.12422&gt;, for cross-sectional and pooled data,
    and the sample selection model as described in Greene (2010)
    &lt;doi:10.1007/s11123-009-0159-1&gt;, and applied in Dakpo et al. (2021)
    &lt;doi:10.1111/agec.12683&gt;.  Several possibilities in terms of
    optimization algorithms are proposed.</dc:description>
