The fixed effects estimator of technical efficiency [PDF]
, 2012 Firms and organizations, public or private, often operate on markets characterized by non-competitiveness. For example agricultural activities in the western world are heavily subsidized and electricity is supplied by firms with market power.

Autonomous AI‐Driven Design for Skin Product Formulations
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This review presents a comprehensive closed‐loop framework for autonomous skin product formulation design. By integrating artificial intelligence‐driven experiment selection with automated multi‐tiered assays, the approach shifts development from trial‐and‐error to intelligent optimisation.

Cost Efficiency in the Swiss Gas Distribution Sector [PDF]
This paper studies the cost structure of gas distribution utilities in Switzerland. Three stochastic frontier models are applied to a panel of 26 companies operating from 1996 to 2000. Efficiency is assumed to be constant over time.

Posterior analysis of stochastic frontier models using Gibbs sampling [PDF]
, 1992 In this paper we describe the use of Gibbs sampling methods for making posterior inferences in stochastic frontier models with composed error. We show how the Gibbs sampler can greatly reduce the computational difficulties involved in analyzing such ...

Parametric Analysis of Spiking Neurons in 16 nm Fin Field‐Effect Transistor Technology
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Energy efficient computing has driven a shift toward brain‐inspired neuromorphic hardware. This study explores the design of three distinct silicon neuron topologies implemented in 16 nm fin field‐Effect transistor technology. While the Axon‐Hillock design achieves gigahertz throughput, its functional fragility persists. The Morris–Lecar model captures

Allocative Efficiency of Small-Holder Cocoyam Farmers in Anambra State, Nigeria [PDF]
This study employed a stochastic frontier translog cost and production functions to measure the level of allocative efficiency and it’s determinants in small-holder cocoyam production in Anambra state, Nigeria. A multi-stage random sampling technique was
