I know this sounds like a plug and one shouldn't brag about his own work,
but I'd like to say a couple of words about the new package called
"frontier" that I put together for performing stochastic frontier
analysis and is now available on the gretl server.
This package gives you, in practice, the combination of the two old
packages "sfa_mod" and "sfa_eff" by Gordon Hughes, with a few slight
improvements that were made possible by the greater power of the hansl
language we have achieved over the past few years.
I'd like to thank Gordon for his work and ask everybody who has an
interest in this class of models to test the new package and tell me about
the bugs that it contains, so I can hopefully fix it.
Thanks!
